Slumdog Millionaire child artist loses home in fire
'Slumdog Millionaire' child actor Rubina Ali’s home has burned down in a fire that raged through a crowded slum in the wee hours of Saturday at suburban Bandra in Mumbai.
Rubina Ali shot to international fame for the role of young Latika in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, watched helplessly as their home in the crowded slum went up in flames.
"We all were at home watching TV, when a neighbour came to alert us about the fire. We all rushed out. We spent the entire night at the railway station. We only have a few clothes left. My pictures at the Oscars, all my memories, are all gone. We have lost everything. So far nobody has come to help us," the 12-year-old child artiste said.
The fire broke out near Bandra railway station on Friday after which 34 fire engines and 16 jumbo water tankers were rushed to the spot. The exact cause of the fire has not been established but initial reports say five gas cylinders exploded in the slums due to which the fire spread quickly.
Earlier, Director Danny Boyle had promised that he would provide Rubina Ali a house in Mumbai. Rubina Ali said that her family was yet to move into a new apartment paid for by a trust set up by Danny Boyle.
