When you were nine, you were busy discerning the complex flavors present in each of your boogers. But that little girl from Slumdog Millionaire? Sheeiiiiit, she's already written an autobiography. "And when I was five, my daddy gave me a dolly and I loved her so so much. Her name was Sally Silky Head. She was so so so so so so pretty. I loved her a lot." Compelling stuff, surely. But she does divulge some insider scoop on Nicole Kidman, with whom she made some sort of trippy soda commercial. Says the Daily Mail:
Rubina [Ali] was reportedly paid more than her Slumdog salary for three days work on a French Schweppes advert, which she filmed on location in India with Nicole.Rubina played a small child enchanted with Nicole's Indian princess character in the bizarre ad's confusing plotline.
Despite sharing a trailer together, Rubina admitted she didn't get to know the Australian actress very well.
In the book, she said: 'I really liked her, but she was very quiet and didn't speak much.
'I think she was a bit shy.'
She goes on to describe the actress as 'strange' because she refused to come out of her trailer over the whole shoot, seemingly afraid of the sun on her alabaster complexion.
No no, she's not afraid of the sun, she's afraid of little Rubina seeing her in the sun. Because Nicole knows that kids can be cruel, and once Rubina saw Nicole's skin sparkling like diamonds under the sun's harsh rays, it would have been all "Vampire! Vampire! You're a filthy stinky vampire!" for the rest of the shoot. That, or Nicole heard that Botox melts if met with a direct light source.

If she was in India, there are any number of reasons not to leave the trailer, none of which make her any less crazy.
