Slumdog Millionaire actress Rubina Ali might only be nine years old, but she is ready to tell her life story.
Having played the young Latika in director Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning movie, Ali has met Hollywood stars such as Nicole Kidman.
But she has also been involved in a series of controversies in Mumbai since the film rocketed her and its other youngsters into fame.
Now on July 16, her book, Slumdog Dreaming, will simultaneously released in both the US and the UK.
Publishing company Transworld, said that, besides recounting Oscar night, Ali will “tell her story of playing marbles with her friends beside the sewers of Garib Nagar in Mumbai, to dancing along to the Bollywood films she and her family watch on their old television set.
“Rubina brings alive a world of wastelands and rat-infested shanty dwellings, and shows us her home, a wooden shack with a tarpaulin roof, where she grew up with her beloved father and siblings.”
