Culture, World: Police are investigating that crazy “Slumdog” child sale claim

  • “News of the World” is probably full of it, but might as well check. Indian police are investigating claims by the British rag that Rafiq Qureshi, father of “Slumdog Millionaire” child star Rubina Ali, tried selling his child for a big payday, a claim he understandably denies. We wish we could just ignore their claims out of hand, but they were right about the Michael Phelps thing. source

Culture, World: A “Slumdog” child actress + the British press = Sketchiness

  • “My daughter is not for sale.” You mean he had to clarify? Rafiq Qureshi, father of “Slumdog Millionaire” child actress Rubina Ali, denies reports that he demanded money to sell his now-famous daughter. British rag News of the World (who broke the Michael Phelps pot scandal) apparently tried to trick him into selling his daughter, under the guise that he was talking to a wealthy Arab couple looking to adopt, not some douchebag with zero ethics working as an intern for News of the World. He said he was trapped into a tempting situation but never once tried to sell her. You suck, News of the World. source
