Rubina Ali lost her home Wednesday when Mumbai authorities demolished part of a city slum where she lived with her stepmother and father.

Munni Qureshi -- the stepmother of 9-year-old Rubina -- said her husband was beaten by police who were supervising the demolition. She said he was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.

Dozens of police with bamboo batons walked around the alley near where their house is located and supervised demolition crews of young men, who used sledgehammers and metal rods to tear down the homes.

"I'm feeling bad," Rubina told The Associated Press. "My house had been demolished. I'm thinking about where to sleep."

Rubina's costar in the Oscar-winning film, Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, lost his home last Thursday after it too was demolished by city authorities.

The 10-year-old boy was asleep when a police officer woke him up and told him to leave his family's home, he said. Shortly after that, the shack -- among the 30 shanties on land that was owned by the government -- were destroyed.

Officials -- who insist only illegally built shanties were bulldozed -- tell the AP that Azhar's family will be given a new home elsewhere.

Slumdog producers have said that they've done their best to help out the film's struggling young stars. They donated $742,000 to set up a five-year, healthcare and education program for the children. They also have created the Jai Ho Trust.
