MUMBAI, India - They are not your typical movie stars.

Ten-year-old Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail lives in a lean-to made of tarpaulins and blankets. Nine-year-old Rubina Ali's home is a tiny bubble-gum pink shack. A murky open sewer runs down her narrow lane.

Plucked from one of Mumbai's teeming slums to star in the Oscar-nominated hit "Slumdog Millionaire," they are India's real slumdog millionaires.

wow that is depressing. The article is a couple pages long but worth the read. I feel so bad for these children.  They were wonderful in the movie and deserve more than what they are getting. It sounds like the people behind the movie and especially the parents are not doing the right thing. its sad.
