<p>The shanty home of Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali has burned down in a fire that raged through a crowded slum in the Indian city of Mumbai.</p>
<p>Rubina said most of the awards that she received for her role as a poverty-stricken child in the Oscar-winning film have been destroyed in the blaze that erupted in the Garib Nagar slum on Friday night.</p>
<p>The 12-year-old star said she and other members of her family were watching television when they heard shouts of a fire and ran out of their tin-roofed shanty.</p>
<p>Rubina said the family is waiting to move into a new apartment paid for by a trust set up by the film&#8217;s director Danny Boyle.</p>
<p>&#8220;We just grabbed what we could and dashed out. The fire spread so fast we couldn&#8217;t get back in,&#8221; said Rafiq Ali, Rubina&#8217;s father.</p>
<p>Rubina said she had lost all her awards and her collection of newspaper clippings and photographs from the success of the 2008 film.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s all gone. Even my best clothes, everything,&#8221; said a tearful Rubina.</p>
<p>Rubina played the young Latika in Slumdog Millionaire, the rags-to-riches blockbuster that won eight Oscars.</p>
<p>Police were investigating the cause of the fire, which left 21 people injured and 2,000 homeless.</p>
<p>Fires often break out in Mumbai&#8217;s sprawling slums, usually sparked by electrical short circuits from the many thousands of illegal power connections.</p>
