Slumdog Millionaire Star Rubina Ali Writes Book
People reports that Slumdog Millionaire star Rubina Ali has a book coming out that tells the story of her life so far. She's only nine but she has experienced two very different worlds: the slums of Mumbai and Hollywood.
July 16 will find her book, Slumdog Dreaming, simulatenously released in the U.S. and U.K. Publisher Transworld, says, 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," says the statement.
The People article says Slumdog Dreaming hits stores in the U.S. and U.K. on July 16th. However, the Amazon.com listing says September 8th, so it may have been pushed back.
