The child actors from "Slumdog Millionaire", Rubina Ali and Azhar Mohammed Ismail were the centre of attraction at a fashion show by designer Ashima Leena at the ongoing
Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week Autumn-Winter 2009 in New Delhi.
Rubina and Azhar walked the runway to the hit song "Jai Ho" wearing clothes designed by Ashima and Leena Singh.
At the post-show press conference, the two said they liked the clothes so much that they were keeping them.
Earlier in the day, the two, accompanied by the designer duo, met Sonia Gandhi, chairperson of the ruling coalition, United Progressive Alliance and President o
f the Congress Party.
Azhar's mother, Shamim Sheikh Ismail, said she handed over a letter to Sonia Gandhi requesting a house for the family since they did not have a regular house to live in.
The two children live in a shantytown running along the railway tracks in Mumbai.
Azhar, who portrays Salim, the hero's brother in the much-acclaimed "Slumdog Millionaire", displayed some fancy Bollywood moves along with his co-star and neighbour Rubina as they danced to "Jai Ho" - much to the delight of the press.
Ashima and Leena said they had invited the children to be part of the show as they had touched their hearts.
The duo seeks to create awareness among the glamorous fashion world on how much one can contribute to help the underprivileged slum children.
