'Slumdog Millionaire' kids to catwalk at WIFW

"As we watched these two beautiful children Rubina and Azhar, bringing the rare honour to our country, our hearts melted with emotions with the thought of their getting back to the slums after all the fame and glory they enjoyed," designer Leena Singh is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The capital-based designers, who have been doing solo shows with the WIFW since its inception in 2000, have not had any celebrity endorsements so far.


"We are a very business oriented brand and have always believed that our clothes are the stars. But the thought of these two innocent children touched our hearts returning to the slums. We really felt very bad and decided to do something for them which will make them keep going in life," says the designer.

Both Rubina and Azharuddin who starred as the young Latika and Jamal in the eight Oscar winning film "Slumdog Millionaire" will be wearing outfits specially designed by Ashima Singh.

"Ashima is just finishing up the designs for the children. They will be wearing clothes that have a very global look," Leena told the agency.
