Irrfan Khan's view on IPL

Irrfan Khan is glad to see the back of the IPL. He reckons it was “a waste of time” and the sheer crassness of it all left him disillusioned with cricket.

That said, Khan, whose star is rocketing post Slumdog Millionaire and Billu Barber, likes Shane Warne for his captaincy, Adam Gilchrist for his belligerence, Mahendra Singh Dhoni for his calmness under pressure and Virender Sehwag for his leadership.

Not bad for a non-IPL fan!

Slumdog Millionaire Children's Finance

- Rubina, 9, and Azhar, 10, now attend a UN school to which they are driven in their own rickshaw

- Their trust fund is guaranteed only if they attend school until the age of 18, though they are not obliged to pass any exams

- Each family was promised that funds would be available in emergencies. When Azhar’s home was bulldozed, the producers wired money They also gave £500,000 to the charity Plan, which improves children’s housing in the slum

- Attempts to buy apartments for the children have proved difficult under Indian law

Slumdog Millionaire Oscar child Rubina's father denies the charges

The plot of Slumdog Millionaire may depict a street child’s life being turned upside down by a huge amount of money but the film’s British makers were determined that reality would not emulate art.

They said that they decided not to shower the child actors from Mumbai’s shantytowns with cash for fear of having “a transformative impact on their lives”.

That ambition was in tatters yesterday when it was alleged that the father of Rubina Ali, one of the film’s stars, had offered the nine-year-old for sale for £200,000 in an illegal adoption deal.

“We live in one room, seven of us sleep on the floor. I earn £2 to £3 a day. I have to consider what is best for me, my family and for Rubina’s future,” Rafiq Quereshi allegedly told an undercover reporter from the News of the World, who was posing as a potential buyer from a wealthy Dubai family.

Mr Qureshi reportedly raised an asking price of £50,000 for Rubina to £200,000 at a later meeting.

Justifying the increase, his brother Mohiuddin was quoted as saying: “The child is special now. This is not an ordinary child. This is an Oscar child.”

Mr Quereshi denied the allegations yesterday. His second wife, Munni, who is Rubina’s stepmother, told The Times: “A foreign woman phoned us and offered us money. We turned her down.”

It is not clear from the News of The World article who raised the possibility of payment. The newspaper would only say that its story was “fair, true and accurate”.

One neighbour said he knew of the proposed sale of Rubina. “One and a half crores of rupees \ is such a lot. Anybody here would let their child go to a better home for that sum,” he said.

Slumdog Millionaire, which was made for £15 million, tells the story of a boy from a Mumbai slum who wins the Indian version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. It has taken £185 million at box offices worldwide and won eight Oscars, but has also been branded “poverty porn” and criticised for the alleged exploitation of its child actors.

Six months after the film opened to rave reviews in the US, Rubina, who played the youngest incarnation of Latika, the leading female character, still lives in Garib Nagar, a slum beside a rail track in north Mumbai.

The interior of her family’s tiny one-room home is painted bubblegum pink and is scrupulously clean. Directly outside, an open sewer oozes and mounds of smouldering rubbish cloud the air.

In ugly scenes there yesterday, Rubina’s biological mother, Khursheed, demanded that the child be removed from her father’s care. The mother and stepmother reportedly ended up fighting.

Mr Quereshi has said Rubina was paid about 150,000 rupees (£2,000) for acting in Slumdog, a sum he now suggests was not enough.

Christian Colson, the film’s British producer, has admitted being wrong-footed by the intense media interest in the child actors. He insists, however, that Rubina and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, 10, another slum child who played a lead part, were paid fairly, and that as soon as they were cast moves were made to safeguard their futures.

The children were found places at an independent school — the first they had ever attended — which specialises in educating disadvantaged youngsters. If they remain in school until they are 18, they will receive a “significant lump sum”. They have also been promised a new home by the film-makers.

“We thought that the parents would be incentivised by long-term benefits to their children. We were wrong,” Mr Colson told The Times this year.

Aamir Khan To Be Waxed At Madam Tussaud Bollywood World

Well this news is from a source close to Bobby Khan, who handles the Bollywood segment at Tussaud’s London. The source says, “Aamir Khan should be next. He is popular and a Bollywood A lister. Even this time, both Sachin and Aamir Khan’s names were in the reckoning, but then Sachin was chosen. Aamir is definitely next”. That’s not all the news on the Tussaud’s front - there is more.

the museum opens in Delhi, we are also going to organize a poll in the city to find out which other stars among Akshay Kumar, Katrina Kaif and Hrithik Roshan they would want to see in the museum next. The figures are going to be installed with all the effects - JLo and Angelina Jolie will blush, for instance. And yeah, you could actually hug and feel Brad Pitt’s bottom.

When contacted, Bobby did not confirm this, but did say that from this year on, out of the six new wax figures put up at Tussaud’s every year. Bobby says that One is going to be an Indian personality. A prominent Indian personality - and that need not to be film star, necessarily.

Mallika's Hisss

Bollywood hottie Mallika Sherawat is in LA these days promoting her Hollywood movie ‘Hisss‘. Sherawat recently made an appearance at the ‘Millions of Milkshakes’ joint in West Hollywood and made her own milkshake which will be featured over there.

Sherawat will be attending the weekend’s Fangoria Conference at the LA Convention Center to talk about the new movie.

Hisss makes a radical and intriguing departure from past Naagin films by having the snake woman turn into a human sized hooded cobra instead of a normal sized cobra, making the transformation physically more realistic.

Mallika buoyed up the glam quotient of the place by wearing a quite revealing dress that didn’t seemed to be appropriate for the kids’ milkshake place. Anyways, Mallika is known for these types of antics only. She is still more famous for her sexy role in Murder than any other movie.

Meanwhile, Mallika is in the heart of Hollywood and she’s been making all types of connections these days. She was invited at the luncheon at the Malibu Family Wines, Malibu, California and was also a hot item at an auction arranged by the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.

I guess it’s best for her to focus on something else these days as her recently released movie ‘Dashavtar‘ has been critically slammed by almost every industry pundit. The Kamal Hassan starrer was supposed to be a blockbuster given the hype of the movie but guess it’s not going to happen now

Khatiye pe mein padi thi

I was lying on my bed

Aur gehri neend badi thi

And was in a deep sleep

Aage kya main kahu sakhi re

How do I tell what happened next, my friend!

Ek khatmal tha saiyana

One very clever bug/cockroach

Mujhpe tha uska nishana

Was aiming for me

Chunrai mein gus gaya dheere dheere

He enterd my scarf slowly slowly

Oooooo ohhh

Kuch nahi samjha o buddhu

This stupid didn't understood anything

Kuch nahi socha

He thought of nothing

Reng ke jaane kaha pahucha

But crawled on, doesn't know where he reached

Mein to thi acchi bhali

I was so better before sleeping

Kyon bhala soi thi

Why did I sleep then

Nigade ne mujhko chain lene na diya

That idiot really made me restless and didn't let me have any peace

Rona bhi chaha to mujhko rone bhi na diya

I badly wanted to weep but he even didn't let me cry

O ho

Aise us Harjai ki makkari

Such was the trick of the faithless

Mere tan badan mein thi lagi Chingari

My whole body was burning inside

Per aise kya thi lachari

But why were I so helpless?

O O oohoo

Chupke se woh chup jata

He used to hide silently somewhere

Aise thi woh meri kahani

Yun samjlo Khatmal ka shikar hui thi mein

Just think that I had become a prey of a bug/cockroach

Uske aage haar gai thi mein

I lost against him
