Slumdog Millionaire’s “Jai Ho Trust” has come forward to the rescue of the film’s child star Rubina Ali. The Jai Ho Trust has hired a social worker to look after Rubina Ali.
The Jai Ho Trust was formed with the financial assistance from the filmmakers to work for the welfare of the movie's child stars, including Rubina and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail.
The Trust has come forward to help the child star Rubina Ali by hiring a trained social worker to look after the welfare of the child, after the reports came out that the nine-year-old girl’s father Rafiq tried to sell her for 2,00,000 pounds.
However, Rafiq has denied the allegations.
Slumdog producer Christian Colson has said, "Both Danny [Boyle, the director] and I remain committed to working the trust and the family to secure Rubina''s long-term best interests."
Noshir H. Dadrawala, one of the Jai Ho trustees, has stated that "the trust will support Rubina, her parents and responsible authorities to ensure that the rights and best interests of Rubina" are protected.
Dadrawala has said, "The trust is in regular contact with Rubina Ali and her family and has hired a social worker to assist in looking after her welfare and that of her co-star.”
"Danny and I both fully support Mr. Dadrawala''s comments," Colson has said.
The independent trust was set up to ensure that the family of the child stars receives suitable accommodations and a fixed sum of money each month for living expenses.
It also covers the education costs for Rubina and her siblings and provides her with a lump sum of money after she turns 18 years old.
