London, June 9 (PTI) Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire's child actor Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail has finally got a permanent home in Mumbai. The Jai Ho trust, supported by film director Danny Boyle and producer Christian Colson, has bought a 250sq ft apartment in Mumbai for the 10-year-old Azharuddin.

"We signed the papers on Monday. We have the keys and we will hand them to the family," A spokesman for the trust said.

Azhar's family had been living in a makeshift construction of tarpaulin sheets after the civic authorities demolished their house last month.

Boy's father, who had earlier refused to live in an apartment bought in Azharuddin's name, is no longer complaining.

"He doesn't seem to be worried now," the spokesman said.

The trust is still searching for a flat to house Rubina Ali, another child stars of the movie.

The family had reportedly been shown a house, which they didn't like.

"They have been very finicky about where they want to move. There is no place in Bandra where they want to live," he said.
