Slumdog Millionaire Child Star Now Homeless
10-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, who played young Salim Malik in Slumdog Millionaire is reportedly homeless after Indian authorities demolished his home, along with 30 others in the Mumbai slums early this morning.
Azharuddin and his mother were reportedly awoken by police officers and told to abandon the premises. Azharuddin claimed that a police officer beat him with a bamboo stick to shoo him out. His mother, Shameem Ismail told reporters,
They didn’t give prior notice. We didn’t even get a chance to take out our belongings. I don’t know what I am going to do.
This incident is the latest in a series of problems that have plagued the stars of the Oscar-winning film. Last month, another child actress from the film, Rubina Ali’s father was accused of attempting to sell his her to a wealthy family from Dubai.
