“I missed those days when I became famous,” said Rubina Ali Qureshi, famously known as Junior Latika from Slumdog Millionaire.
In 2008, it catapulted Rubina, an underprivileged girl who lived in the slums of Mumbai for fame after she was displayed in the Winning Award with Boyle Director.
“I was 9th – last year.
I’m 22 now and people hardly recognize me, but when sometimes some of them do it, I feel excited,” said Rubina.
Remembering his time on the set, he added, “From facing the camera, winning awards for my appearance, attending Oscar, visiting various countries, meeting Bollywood and Hollywood celebrities and then launched my own book – it is a big chapter of my life.”
Trust established by Boyle cared for him well in the following years of film release.
From providing his own place to live to treat his education, Rubina was very grateful to the type of care given to him.
Currently studying in the last year of BA (Bachelor of Art) Rubina also conducted a part-time course in hair and makeup.
He recently opened his own salon in Nalasopara, near Mumbai.
“I traveled a beauty expert …
I can do hair, makeup, and other treatments.
I am very happy that today I run my own business.
I don’t know what life I will lead to having a Slumdog Millionaire doesn’t happen to me .
Maybe I will still live in slums, uneducated, struggling for livelihood.
It was Danny Boyle who made me welcome in a great school and my shift into a beautiful home, “he said.
Ask him whether he still lives in the same apartment and he shares, “Well, the house was in my name, but my stepmother had taken over and refused to leave.
I have moved with my mother at the house of heralasopara.”
After his film debut, Rubina has received more acting opportunities.
But for a period of time he lost contact with acting.
“Jab Don’t Kam Raha Tha, Tab Not Mila.
Days passed with …
Aur Umra Bhi Bewhti Gayi.
I want to find myself a safe job.
I want to grow and better in my work.
I want to be a hair artist And makeup celebrities, “said Rubina.
He added, “If given the opportunity, I want to take something like Bigg boss.”
Ask him whether he was related to anyone from the Slumdog Billionaire team and he said, “I relate to Azharuddin Mohammad Ismail (Young Salim), Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar (teen Latika).
Sometimes, I also talk to Madhur Mittal (Adult Salim) Of course.
