Father offers to sell child star of Slumlord Millionaire?

The father of Rubina Ali, child star of Slumdog Millionaire, allegedly put his daughter up for sale, offering to allow her to be adopted for about £200,000.  Dad Rafiq Qureshi, who lives in one of Mumbai’s worst slums and says his daughter made nothing out of the hit film, which won 8 Academy Awards, allegedly offered her to a man he thought was a sheikh from Dubai.

Qureshi and Ali have denied that claim, saying that they understood the transaction as an offer of employment for the child actress.
