Slumdog's Jamals - Ayush Mahesh Khedekar and Tanay Hermant Chheda, Salims - Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail Sheik and Ashutosh Lobo Gajiwalan and Latikas - Rubiana Ali and Tanvi Ganesh Lonkar lived the dream of every child as they visited Universal Studios and Disneyland in California.
Apart from getting pictures clicked with iconic Disney stars, including Mickey and Minnie Mouse, the children enjoyed rides and movie making action at the studios.
During their four-day long stay in the US, it has been a whirlwind trip for the children, two of whom - Ali and Ismail - live in Mumbai's slums.
The group is scheduled to return home on Tuesday, where celebrations are being planned for the movie's Oscar wins, the NBC Universal reported.
The 'Slumdog' child actors were the cynosure of all eyes at the star-studded 81st Annual Academy awards. Dressed to the tee in tuxedos and chic dresses, the children went from one TV camera to another, giving interviews, waving to excited audience and basking in their new found glory.
The young stars have been swarmed by paparazzi, met idols like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt and partied the night away after their film's winning streak at the Oscars.

Congratulations to the entire Slumdog crew and cast. Post the Oscars, there will predictably be a surge of interest in the lives of the Dharavi slum dwellers. Let us hope that the ancillary economic benefits percolate down to the poorest of them, and that their standard of living especially in the hygiene field, improves.
Bravo. God bless these children. I wish them all the best in life. There are enough talent in India in every field. Let the Government take initiative to discover talent.
