From Slumdog to slapdog: Child actor beaten by father for refusing to leave shack

[DS1]

The brutality of his slum life came back with a vengeance today for Slumdog Millionaire actor Azharuddin Mohammed when he was beaten by his father, Ismail Usnay.

The ten-year-old boy who was tired from yesterday's long-haul flight from Los Angeles and had wanted to be left alone refused his father's request to leave the shack and face curious onlookers.

Just days ago as one of the movie's child stars he'd walked the Oscars red carpet in glamorous clothes but now back in the slums he was being slapped around the face.

1. THAT'S gratitude for you...

Your own son becomes your meal ticket, and this is how you treat him?

Pick on someone your own size, Ismail. Try to slap me around instead.

unfreakin' believable......

I saw news footage of them returning home...they were mobbed and pushed around by press and onlookers....I think that father is using him as a meal ticket now....I hope Azharuddin is helped somehow, with whats going on.....to go from such a high place in his life to this...

Children should not have to go thru this shit....

3. I wonder what this child's life will be like now. Must be really odd,

the 2 parts.

9. I hope there will be some money set aside for him when he's grown,

so that he can lead an independent life.

[uppityperson]

11. That would be nice. It would also be nice to be able to have the whole

family be less in poverty, and the extended family, and the rest of the kids and community and.....

But I would like to see at least the one child be able to not have to suffer so much.
