fineleg Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 the hype around slumdog movie and actors in it has gone beyond a point.
Guest Hiten. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Certainly it has. When the kids went back to their slums, paparazzi were following them :|... I mean they are kids for god's sake. Leave em alone.
fineleg Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 slumdog kid's dad kicks and slaps his son just after he returns from LA http://www.nypost.com/seven/02272009/news/worldnews/slumdog_star_gets_brutal_beating_from_da_157254.htm One of the child actors who starred in the Oscar-winning flick "Slumdog Millionaire" received a severe beating from his dad today after the 10-year-old star refused to be put on display like a trophy. Less than a week after strutting down the red carpet in Los Angeles, actor Azharuddin Mohammed was slapped and kicked by his dad Ismail, The London Sun reported today on its Web site. "I was very sorry that I did what I did," he said afterward. "I was so confused and stressed by my son's homecoming that I did not know myself for a minute. I love my boy and I am very happy to have him home." MORE PHOTOS The ugly fight - which lasted less than a minute - broke out this morning in the Dharavi slum in Mumbai, the same impoverished section of the city where the film was shot. Little Azharuddin, who had been given a day off school, was tired after his long flight Thursday from Hollywood. When Azharuddin refused to be put on display outside his home so neighbors could gawk at him, his father lashed out - kicking, then slapping him across the face. His mother cried out for him to stop, but Ismail continued to dish out the corporal punishment, the newspaper reported. Azharuddin even stood up to his dad - which only angered the 45-year-old even further, witnesses told the newspaper. "It was like a scene out of Slumdog Millionaire," one onlooker told the newspaper. The fight ended when Azharuddin cowered in a corner and cried. "Azharruddin's father was upset that he was asking to be left alone because he was tired," said the witness. "He didn't attend school today so that he could recover from his long flight from LA and simply wanted all the attention to stop."

That is exactly why we have established the National Commission for Child Rights,” she told journalists in New Delhi. “Let me find out whether it is in the public domain. I will ask the NCPCR to take steps.”

The dad shd be in jail. But unfortunately, India doesnt have a gd enuf system to support orphan kids.
fineleg Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Renuka chowdhury is no doubt "putting on a show" and needs to be despised, however, lets not be so callous abt a dad kicking and slapping his kid, because he was tired after flight back from LA and did not want to be on display as a trophy. The dad deserves to be locked up and the police need to give a few slaps and kicks to the dad himself. This is a bloody defenseless kid that the dad is "beating up" for no real reason.

Right now this one will do for the publicity she needs.
Zap_Brannigan Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Anyone and everyone who endanger kids shd be put in Jail. Moreso publicly well known kids dad bcos they help to serve as a public message for people not to harm kids. Dontt take it lightly. I have personally known kids who were hurt physically and it is no small matter.
Desi Cartman Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 excellent article MJ Akbar--- Fiction is much more appealing than sordid facts
beetle Posted March 3, 2009 Posted March 3, 2009 The jounalists should be more worried about the children going to school.Why should they be paraded around in a night awards show where they were not even likely to get any award?Let the kids be kids.
