The Real Slumpdog Millionaire!

Do you recognize the two children in the photo?

They are Azharuddin Ismail, 10 and Rubina Ali, 8 from the Slumdog Millionaire movie. Flashing their million dollars smile, they must be the real millionaires of the Slumpdog Millionaire movie which has earned in excess of 100 million since its release and won 8 Oscar awards out of the 10 nominations.

The two main child actors who played the movie young central characters, Latika and Salim, are to receive a flat each from the Mumbai housing authority.

It is indeed a timely god send gift to both of them as Azharuddin is currently living by the side of a road with her partially blinded mother and TB sufferer father who only earns £1 a day selling scrap while Rubina lives in a tiny one room tin shack near a railway track.

The two children have been enrolled for school and also fund has been set up for their education, emergencies medical needs and basic living expenses.
