The mother and step-mother of Slumdog Millionairechild star Rubina Ali had a row in the street over claims the little girl had been put up for sale, it emerged today.
The pair clashed in public after nine-year-old Rubina's father Rafique Qureshi was accused of being willing to let her go for adoption in exchange for £200,000.
Rubina, who played the child version of the film's romantic lead Latika, still lives in a one-room slum beside a rail track in north Mumbai.
Mr Qureshi's ex-wife Khurshid Begum made an official complaint to Mumbai police after the deal was exposed in Britain's
News of the World.
But not satisfied with the response she went to the Gharib Nagar slums and got into a confrontation with stepmother Munni, according to the Mumbai Mirror.
