Slumdog Kid Writes A Book
9-year-old Slumdog Millionaire actress, Rubina Ali is reportedly working on a book about growing up in the slums of Mumbai.
The autobiography entitled Slumdog Dreaming: My Journey To The Stars, is set for release on July 16 by UK and US publisher Transworld. A statement released by the publisher reads:
Rubina brings alive a world of wastelands and rat-infested shanty dwellings, and shows us her home, a wooden shack with a tarpaulin roof, where she grew up with her beloved father and siblings.
Just try your best to ignore the fact that her “beloved father” once attempted to sell her on the black market for £200,000.
Some proceeds from the book’s sales will reportedly go directly to Rubina and her family. The rest of the money will be donated to French medical organization Médecins du Monde.
