danny_boyle_slumdog_millionaire

Slumdog Millionaire director, Danny Boyle arrived in Mumbai today to meet with the families of child actors, Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed, whose homes were destroyed by Indian authorities in recent weeks.

The meeting, which was set up to discuss the issue of acquiring proper housing for both children and their families, ended early when Rubina’s father Rafiq Qureshi stormed out of the room, telling reporters,

Everything is available in Mumbai if you have the money. If you really want to get us a house you can get us a house in two days. After the Oscars they forgot about us.

Danny defended himself by saying that he and other Slumdog filmmakers had been trying to secure housing for the children “for a long time”.  A home for Azharuddin is reportedly almost ready for move-in, and the children’s trust is still working on finding an apartment for Rubina’s family.

Rubina is currently living with relatives, and Azharuddin is staying with his parents in a makeshift shack made of blankets and tarps.
