Slumdog Millionaire child star Rubina Ali has been raised by her father Rafiq Qureshi and stepmom, after her mother, Khursheed Ali abandoned her (so says Rafiq and his wife), but now, Khursheed wants her daughter back and will fight to win custody of her.
Last week, it was believed Rafiq tried to sell his 9-year-old daughter (he's since been cleared of those charges) and his wife and ex-wife had a physical fight in the streets over the situation.
Afterwards, Rubina's father said, "As far as Khushi is concerned, she left Rubina when she was two years old. Why should we give her custody now? The children are happy with us."
But Ali said she will do "whatever it takes" to win custody of her child. She added, "I left Rafiq five years ago... but I took the children with me. It was poverty that forced me to let them go back to him a year later. But we stayed in touch."
