My mouth almost fell open when I read the square footage, but I figured I'd wait until someone that's been there posts about the size. And Jammy explained things nicely, thanks. Is the movie company also paying for those kids' education too? Well I believe it was the girl's father that was stirring up most of the trouble. Maybe instead of complaining they weren't given enough after the first offer of a home, they should be using the girl's fame to see if they can get her in another movie. I know if I were that girl, I'd sure want to be in another movie, instead of homeless after the excitement of being in the first movie.

Even stars live in apartments there (or paying guests). Houses are a rarity. These are just child stars and I do think even single bedroom flat in Mumbai is a big deal. The life there is not the same as USA. Most regular middle class families live in 1-2 bedroom house regardless of how many people are there in family. I have lived in Mumbai so know what I am talking about. I think its awesome that these kids are getting the housing they were promised. You are talking about finding a house in Mumbai, India.

It's taken them this long to establish housing and it's a frigging 1br?? My boyfriend and I are searching for a 2br! And there's only 2.5 of us (the dog counts!) Agreed.

Building one-bedroom apartments designed to house families is idiotic full stop - imagine all the other families buying or renting one in the same complex, possibly with more children. But they've not been in a film, so they don't matter I suppose. I don't know the geography of Mumbai at all, but perhaps the areas where individual houses are being built are even further away than the government flats? And I wonder exactly how easy it would be to buy a house for them in certain areas - maybe they're famous, but they're still from the slums and there is a chance that people in various neighbourhoods still don't want them moving in - NIMBYism at it's finest. I'm not sure what the American equivalent is - but for example in Britain or Ireland, there can be a strong resistance to Travellers occupying houses in some areas/estates - same thing for gypsies in other countries in Europe.

Mind you it is better then what they had, but the film made MILLIONS and MILLIONS more - the cost of living Mumbia isn't that expensive.

I hate to nit-pick in this case as well, but a ONE bedroom? I don't understand why they weren't supplied a house given how much money the movie made. It amazes me how Celebrities can give very expensive gifts like, high end cars, accessories etc to other celebrities who can actually afford them, and yet these kids are like an afterthought. Sort of like "Oh well, we'll toss a one bedroom apartment to you. Enjoy!". I don't know. ANything is better than the shanty they lived in before and anything beats being homeless, but still. I feel these kids are short changed. Kaiser, I thought the same thing when I read the opening tittle. I hate to nit-pick in this case as well, but a ONE bedroom?
