Slumdog Millionaire kids

After the alleged attempt to sell his own daughter, 9-year-old “Slumdog Millionaire” actress Rubina Ali, to a sheikh from Dubai for £ 200.000, Rafiq Qureshi has been arrested by Indian police, Britain’s The Sun reports.

It was reportedly Rubina’s mother who contacted the authorities after she learned about the whole adoption story. Police say that they are currently investigating the matter.

“When we questioned Rubina she said she does not want to go anywhere and wants to live with her father. Similarly, Rafiq Qureshi also said he has no intentions of selling her,” police official Prakash Salunke, who is leading the investigation, is quoted as saying by the tabloid.

The rumor has it that the Dubai sheikh who almost bought Rubina contacted Qureshi after Slumdog’s Academy Award wins. The sheikh and is wife were interested in adopting the little starlet, since the sheikh’s wife was no longer able to have children.
