The Kids From Slumdog Millionaire Go To Disneyland
Posted by SunnyChanel at 7:15 AM on February 25, 2009
As countless winners before them have said, this celebrated group of kids from Mumbai got to declare proudly, “I’m going to Disneyland!”
The day after an ultra big win of eight Oscars for the film Slumdog Millionaire at this years award’s, the kids who appeared in this sleeper hit were treated to a trip to someplace that is pert near the polar opposite of their home of Mumbai…Disneyland.
Nine-year-old Rubina Ali, who plays the young Latika in the film, has never left Mumbai before, where she lives in a shack in the slums of this bustling and poverty stricken city. So the glitz, the glamour of the Academy Awards followed up with hangin’ with a large rodent in front of a fairytale castle, must have an intense study in extremes.
Let’s hope these aren’t just memories but that this experience takes them on a journey to a life beyond the slums where some of these young actors reside.
