Hollywood actor Gerard Butler, who notoriously partied at Priyanka Chopra’s Versova residence, also reportedly took Slumdog Millionaire kid stars Azhar Ismail and Rubina Ali to a five-star dinner when he was in Mumbai recently.

What nobody knows is that the actor also secretly visited their shanties in Bandra’s Garib Nagar slums. With a severe headache and fever, Gerard first went to Azhar’s house, but the boy had gone out to buy some pet birds and the Hollywood actor was compelled to wait for him to return. Gerard, who has seen Slumdog thrice and is a fan of the young actors, was shocked at the pitiable condition in which child star of the Oscar winning film lived.

From there, Gerard went to Rubina’s house, where he chatted the girl and her parents. He reportedly told Rubina that he would one day love to have a daughter like her. And that when she grew up, she was bound to be a stunner.

But before that, the Hollywood star promised to help in cash and kind towards bettering the kids’ living conditions. “Humne suna hai ki woh paanch lakh dene wale hai Azhar ke naam pe,” said Azhar’s mother. There was no confirmation of what Gerard has promised Rubina.

I thought one of the little girls lost her home...I hope there was help before that happened.

I'm sure going through the slums makes one sympathetic towards those less fortunate.
