  • Local children are playing near the remains of Rubina Ali's house in the slum where she still lives with her family next to the train station of Bandra (East), Mumbai, India. The home was recently demolished with no notice as it lay on land owned by the Maharashtra train authorities. She is now permanently living with her uncle's family in a home a stone-throw away in the same slum. Rubina Ali, 9, is the child actor playing the role of 'young Latika', the friend/lover of Jamal, protagonist of Slumdog Millionaire, the famous movie winner of 8 Oscar Academy Awards in December 2008. Various promises were made to lift the two young actors (Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali) from poverty and slum-life but as of the end of May 2009 anything is yet to happen. Azharuddin's home too was demolished in the past two weeks, as it happens every year in his case, because the concrete walls were preventing local authorities to clear a drain passing right behind it. As usual, his father is looking into restoring the walls as soon as the work on the drain has been completed.
