[align=center]Mumbai slum hails Millionaire stars[/align]
Jai ho! (Victory!) was the refrain in the congested by-lanes of Garibnagar, the colony where Slumdog Millionaire child actors Rubina Ali and Azharuddin Ismail live.
Neighbours and relatives in the colony, which runs parallel to railway tracks in a western suburb of Mumbai, had been wide awake and buzzing from 0400 local time (2330 GMT Sunday) for the Oscar awards ceremony.
Munni Qureshi, Rubinas mother, said she was waiting for her daughter to return from Los Angeles. I will go to the airport with a band of musicians and greet her. We are so happy for the children.

Winning the best actress Oscar was the realisation of a childhood dream, an emotional Kate Winslet revealed in her acceptance speech.
Winslet, 33, who won the award for her role as Hanna Schmitz in The Reader, said she had first practised her speech in the mirror aged eight.
Pointing to her Oscar, she said: This would have been a shampoo bottle. Well its not a shampoo bottle now.
