Slumdog Millionaire Stars Get Heroes Welcome Home



Huge crowds gave the child stars of Slumdog Millionaire a rousing heroes' welcome as they returned to Mumbai from LA after the film's Oscar glory.

The young actors were greeted with garlands and held aloft by the crowds as they stepped out of Mumbai airport.

Composer AR Rahman, who won two Oscars, received a similar welcome as he arrived in his home city of Chennai.

The film, a rags-to-riches story about the winner of game show Who Wants To Be a Millionaire, won eight Oscars.

The children were flown to Los Angeles for last weekend's 81st annual Academy Awards.

Two of them, Azharuddin Ismail (who plays the youngest Salim) and Rubina Ali (who plays the youngest Latika) still live in the slums in western Mumbai.
