Slumdog Millionaire kid loses his dad

Alongside his elatedness post-Slumdog Millionaire success, the young lad goes woe-stricken as he loosed his father Ismail Sheikh yesterday, in Mumbai. The family members revealed that he was involved in private fight with tuberculosis for past couple of years. 

Sheikh, 46 is survived by his widow Shamim, son Azharuddin, an older son and two daughters. 

Much desolated in spirits, Shamim stated that her husband was suffering from TB for past two years. However they didn’t want Azharuddin to know about this as it would deteriorate his professional advancements. 

Danny Boyle, filmmaker of Slumdog Millionaire has expressed his condolences and will make his visit earlier by next month.
