The Poverty-Stricken Father Of Slumdog Millionaire Child Star Rubina Ali Plans To Become A Millionaire Himself By SELLING His Nine-Year-Old Daughter.
In a bid to escape India’s real-life slums, Rafiq Qureshi put angel-faced darling of the Oscars Rubina up for adoption, demanding millions of rupees worth £200,000.
ccording to media reports, Qureshi was approached at his home in Mumbai, India by an undercover reporter for the U.K. newspaper the News Of The World, who claimed to be acting on behalf of a wealthy Arab sheik who wanted to adopt the child.
Qureshi allegedly told the journalist, “We are considering Rubina’s future. Obviously if you wanted to adopt we could discuss this, but her parents would also expect some proper compensation in return. We are talking of around £50,000 for this to happen. We can discuss everything about this deal when we meet. There’s a lot of interest in Rubina, she’s become very famous.”
But, in a further call, he allegedly told the reporter he planned to sell his daughter to the highest bidder and he was expecting $300 000 from the sale.
A source tells the newspaper, “Rubina’s family are furious that despite the film doing so well and their pretty daughter becoming so famous, they are still living in such rough conditions… Dad Rafiq is streetwise and knows that soon his daughter’s success will be forgotten and her moment of fame will be over. He has a family to feed and simply can’t afford it. He is keen to find a rich family to bring up Rubina but only if they are willing to help the whole family to get out of the slums.”
Officials at children’s charities have expressed their concern over the case, and have pledged to help Ali.
SHAMEFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!
