Slumdog star lands lucrative commercial contract
Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali has been offered a deal for a commercial to star with none other than Aussie super star Nicole Kidman.
And according to her parents the fee offered is more than what she earned from the total Slumdog package.
“The Slumdog Millionaire people haven’t kept all their promises despite all the media attention. We have no information about the supposed trust fund and the 21pound-a-month that they were giving for her studies has stopped coming,” the Telegraph quoted Rafiq Ali as saying.
“The money she is receiving for doing this ad is more than the total she got for Slumdog,” he added.
He hopes that Rubina’s rising profile could lead to a better life for the family.
“We are very proud of her and hope she continues to become a big star. Maybe then we will be able to live in a proper house,” he said.
The advert, for a drinks firm, was produced by Blade Runner director Ridley Scott.
