Amil Kapoor says Mumbai Slumdog kids are "fine"

Friday, March 6, 2009

Anil Kapoor of Slumdog Millionaire was at Mr Chow tonight and I asked him for an update on the condition of Rubiana Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, the two young child actors who were discovered in a Mumbai slum and then returned there after the oscars. Apparently the children were rather upset to return home after seeing the USA. One was reportedly beaten by his father for being to tired to work. The 10 year old boy was reportedly suffering from exhaustion and running a 103 degree fever. Anil assured me the children are "fine." I sure hope so!

About Item9

HOLLYWOOD, 2009: Dangerous and deadly car chases. Drug-fueled starlets refusing to wear underpants. D-listers begging to be photographed. Beefy bouncers with headsets and no brains. Lap dances in the gutter. Has-beens stealing your kush.

Everyone had a story, and most of them were working on a script based on that story. The landscape had changed, and what had once been a glamorous and dreamy boulevard was now a dark and seedy underground of hanger-ons and fame junkies.

That's where I came in. I could say I did it for the money, but that would make me a liar just like the rest of them. The truth is I was drawn to it. Like an accident on the side of the road. I didn't want to look, but my camera guided me, daring me not to ignore my destiny.
