Ayah Aktris “Slumdog” Jual Rubina Rp 3,1 Miliar

slumdog

MENURUT media Inggris, News of the World, Minggu (19/4), Rafiq mencoba menjual Rubina kepada orang kaya dengan harga jutaan rupee atau setara dengan 200.000 poundsterling (Rp 3,1 miliar).

Tawaran itu justru diberikan kepada wartawan News of the World (notw) yang menyaru sebagai keluarga kaya dari Dubai, Uni Emirat Arab, saat menyambangi rumah keluarga Rafiq di perkampungan kumuh Kota Mumbai, India.

Alasan Rafiq demi memberikan masa depan yang lebih baik bagi putrinya. Rafiq juga menyalahkan bos Hollywood yang telah memaksa dia untuk menjual anaknya. “Saya harus memikirkan apa yang baik bagi saya, keluarga, dan masa depan Rubina,” ujarnya.

Dia mengaku keluarganya tidak mendapat apa-apa kendati Rubina mendapat Piala Oscar dan bisa jalan-jalan ke Hollywood atas tanggungan sutradara film, Danny Boyle. “Kami tidak mendapatkan keuntungan apa-apa dari film ini,” tambahnya.

Informasi yang didapat dari informan News of the World terungkap bahwa keluarga Rubina didekati salah satu keluarga kaya dari Timur Tengah yang tertarik untuk mengadopsi Rubina setelah melihat aktingnya pada film Slumdog Millionaire. Setelah itu Rafiq membisikkan syekh gadungan harga yang harus dibayar untuk bisa “mengadopsi” putrinya, 200.000 poundsterling.

Harga itu empat kali lebih mahal dari penawaran awal. Nilainya meningkat setelah Rafiq diprovokasi oleh saudaranya, Mohiuddin. “Anak ini sekarang istimewa. Ini bukan anak biasa. Dia adalah anak Oscar!”

News of the World edisi Minggu (19/4) menurunkan laporan khusus investigasi perdagangan anak di India. Namun, mereka tak menyangka bila salah satu kasus itu ternyata juga melibatkan keluarga aktris cilik pemenang Oscar.

“Seperti Madonna, keluarga Timur Tengah itu juga ingin mengadopsi Rubina dan memberikan masa depan yang lebih baik lagi. Namun, Rafiq menjadi serakah dan akan menawarkan putrinya kepada penawar tertinggi,” terang informan itu.

Dengan menyamar sebagai seorang syekh, reporter News of the World menghubungi Rafiq untuk menyelidiki penjualan anak. “Kita bisa membicarakan perjanjian ini ketika bertemu. Banyak yang menyatakan berminat dengan Rubina,” ujarnya kepada reporter News of the World. Pertemuan di Hotel Leela Kempinski ini membuat kagum Rubina. “Rumah kami hanya sebesar toilet di kamar ini. Kami tinggal di Gharib Nagar,” ujarnya polos.

“Kami memerlukan dua atau tiga bulan lagi. Sebelum kita menyepakati harganya, kami akan datang ke Dubai. Rubina bisa datang dan pergi,” ujar Rajan, juru bicara keluarga Rubina. Jerat kemiskinan telah membutakan mata ayah Rubina yang rela menjual putrinya.

Mereka tidak mengkhawatirkan penjualan anak-anak India yang sedang marak ke Timur Tengah. Di Timur Tengah mereka akan dipekejakan sebagai joki unta dan mendapat pelecehan seksual. Transaksi semacam ini masih jauh dari luar biasa dalam sebuah negara miskin di mana kehidupan manusia dihargai murah dan anak-anak seringkali dianggap sebagai sebuah komoditas.

Informan tersebut mengatakan, “Rubina merupakan keluarga yang hebat. Meskipun ia bermain dengan baik di film itu dan telah menjelma menjadi putri cantik yang terkenal, mereka masih hidup dalam kondisi seperti itu sebelum bermain di film tersebut. “Kehidupan Rubina masih menyedihkan dan dia tinggal di sini dengan ibu tiri. Ia banyak menghabiskan waktunya dengan saya karena dia tidak senang tinggal di rumah orangtuanya,” ujar Rajan.

Kehidupan Rubina dan keluarganya memang tak seberuntung film Slumdog yang dibintanginya yang sukses mencetak pundi keuntungan. Film garapan sutradara muda Inggris Danny Boyle itu mencetak 200 juta dollar AS atau Rp 2,4 triliun di seantero dunia.

Film Slumdog Millionaire mengisahkan hidup anak yatim piatu yang berhadapan dengan kemiskinan, pengkhianatan, penyiksaan polisi, dan kuis ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ versi India. Semua dilakoninya demi bertemu kembali dengan cinta masa kecilnya. Bintang-bintang film ini bukan artis terkenal, seperti Rubina Ali, Dev Patel. dan Freida Pinto, hingga anak-anak yang dipungut Danny Boyle, sang sutradara, dari kawasan kumuh Mumbai, India.

Eva Mendez opens up about her favorite thing to do in bed

Eva Mendes is one of the world’s sexiest starlets, so when it comes to the privacy of her own bedroom what is the actress’ ultimate indulgence?

eva-mendes-575
“I have so many guilty pleasures! One of them is to eat in bed while watching television. It sounds kind of gross, but I absolutely love it,” Mendes told us. “I love to watch my favorite program with my food on a tray on my lap. I’ve learned however, that eating Indian may not be such a good thing to have in the bedroom. I’ve made that mistake before, so never again! But I am a huge snacker so you’ll always find me indulging in something.”

It comes as no surprise then that Mendes was recently named Magnum’s Global Pleasure Ambassador and spent last week in Istanbul to launch the world’s largest survey on pleasure. Never before have scientists delved into the science behind what causes pleasure, how to get more of it and triggers it – so the sultry starlet was on hand to add a stroke of sexiness to the scientific summit. The poll, aimed at discovering the human pleasure quotient (through a uniquely prepared test titled the “PQ” test), will survey 100,000 people all over the world and results will be released in a few months. So why does Miss Mendes think she was chosen for the gratifying gig?

“I love chocolate! I like chocolate like no-one else and I love indulging. In fact, I am all about pleasure. I am the girl who will get three massages a week – that’s my luxury and that’s where I spend most of my money,” she admitted. “I’m not a big shopper, but I love facials and spas and everything indulgent when it comes to the body and pampering. I am a girly girl at heart.”

Argh, all that chocolate and she still has a bangin’ body. …

“Oh no! Don’t hate me because seriously, I work out almost everyday – at least five days a week,” Mendes quipped. “I put in a lot of time at the gym to ensure that I am able to indulge at other times. Pleasure is pain.”

Harry Potter star Arrested for Growing Post in Bedroom !

So much for high times.

Harry Potter star Jamie Waylett, known as bullying Hogwarts student Vincent Crabbe, was arrested on Tuesday in London on suspicion of possessing marijuana.

Ziegfeld Theater

According to British reports, police first stopped Waylett, 19, and a pal while they were driving and discovered eight bags of pot inside the vehicle.

Police then raided the London-area home the actor shares with his mom (and two brothers and a sister) and found 10 plants, believed to be cannabis and valued at about $2,900.

The plants were growing under powerful hydroponic lights beside a PlayStation, according to reports.

Waylett is due in court in July — the same month Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hits theaters. Quote

Simon Cowell may leave American Idol

Good news to American Idol wannabes who dread Simon Cowell’s critiques: He may be leaving the show.

In a new interview with the U.K. Mirror, the sharp-tongued judge, 49, says he is getting tired of traveling for his three TV shows — and Idol would be the first to go.

“I don’t want to come over as whiney because I am very grateful that I have got these jobs,” says Cowell, who also hosts U.K.’s The X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent. “But there is a point where I am not sure we can keep this schedule up.”

“It takes longer and longer to make these shows because you have to put more into them, and I am not sure we can sustain me doing three shows a year, with the record label and the TV production company,” he goes on.

Cowell says “most people do one show a year and I do three and they involve a lot of traveling. One may have to go. I don’t know which one. That is the problem, I like all of them.”

He says he “can’t imagine not doing Britain’s Got Talent and I can’t imagine not doing X-Factor. But I guess America is more likely to go because I have got one year under contract. Maybe that will be the end.”

All the hustling hasn’t affected his health, he says.

“I have two health checks a year – the last one was very comprehensive and the doctor was almost upset at how healthy I was, bearing in mind the hours I work,” says Cowell who has also “cut down on the smoking.” (He went down to five cigarettes, from a pack a day.)

Working so much has, however, affected his love life. (He split from Terri Seymour last year.)

“Have I got a black book? Yes, it’s called a mobile phone,” he jokes when asked if he dates often. “I do get offers. There is no shortage of people if you want to go on dates – working in TV, living in LA, it is there if you want it. But I am enjoying hanging out with my friends. I haven’t had time to go on dates.” Quote
