Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali’s father, Rafiq Quereshi, negotiated to sell her for Rs 20 million ($400,000) to a reporter disguised as a Arab Sheikh.
The offer was made by Qureshi in the absence of Rubina’s mother during a sting operation by the British weekly, News of the World, to expose child exploitation in Mumbai. Rubina’s uncle, Rajan More, was present at the meeting.
Rubina Ali, who played younger Latika in Slumdog Millionaire, lives in Mumbai’s Dharavi slum with her family.
