She's Priceless!!

ages 30-50
purpose: For parents to be aware of the extent to which other parents would go to to get money, even if it means giving up their child.

The child stars of the highly acclaimed film, Slumdog Millionaire have had a lot of controversy surrounding them ever since the film started receiving increasing worldwide attention and pulling in the big bucks at the box office. In today's society one would do anything for money, especially if that part of the world was living in poor conditions. However there is a line drawn in the circumstances of how one earns that money. Attempting to sell your own daughter, is definitely a big no in order to get money for yourself. As was reportedly attempted by Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali's father, Rafiq Quereshi.

Mr. Quesreshi had accepted that he met the man who posed to be a wealthy Arab sheikh. This alone speaks volumes itself. If Quereshi truly was not interested in giving away his daughter for money, then why would he accept to meet the man in the first place? I believe that when Quereshi was questioned about this, he immediately had no other choice than to deny it as he was well aware it would degrade his integrity. It is a well known fact that the child stars of the film did not receive a sufficient amount of money for their part in the acclaimed film, as can be proven by their current living conditions. Quereshi obviously wanted to take advantage of the fact that his family did not make enough money from the millions of dollars that the film got. In order to make up for this, he went to this meeting in hopes of getting an "offer" high enough that would be pleasing. Little did he know it was all a hoax.

By accepting to meet the' Wealthy Arab Sheikh', Quereshi brought it upon himself to have his intentions towards his now famous daughter questioned.
