Just days after going to the Oscars and being treated like royalty at Disneyland, Slumdog Millionaire star, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail headed home to Mumbai. He was tired from a long flight, but his father had other plans for him other than resting.
This jerk wanted to put his son on display “like a trophy”, but little Azharuddin wanted none of that. He had already taken the day off of school so that he could recover from the flight.
When he refused, his father lashed out at him, reportedly kicking him and slapping him in the face.
The poor kid just wanted to rest and was sick of the constant attention. I can’t blame the kid. After a long flight from California, I’d be tired, too.
The father has since apologized for hitting his son, saying, “I am very sorry that I did what I did. I was so confused and stressed by my son’s homecoming that I did not know myself for a minute. I love my boy and I am very happy to have him home.”
I’m not sure what kind of laws they have over there regarding child abuse, but I think someone really needs to get this kid away from his dad.
It’s a shame that he got away with it and it probably happens more than we’ll ever know about.
