Slumdog child star's home demolished

From the WTF?! file: One of the main characters from Slumdog
Millionaire said his tin roof shanty of a home was demolished by local
authorities. The Gaurdian takes understandable exception to the
decision but skirts around the main question: why is he still in a
slum?! Did they even pay this kid?!? If I landed a speaking role in a
major motion picture I'm pretty sure i'd be able to move my family out
of the leanto! Either Mumbai is ruiniously expensive (which i'm pretty
sure it is) or else they seriously ripped this kid off!! What are
prevailing wages for actors in India? 3 kilos of garlic nan and a pat
on the back?! Somebody needs to sue Danny Boyle and fast.
