A true Slumdog millionaire. A shining example of Luck, opportunity and will playing their part. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.

A true Slumdog millionaire. Not quiet the same, as she comes from a wealthy family. She was running away from the social pressure of getting married and ended up with what followed. [NB: Nothing to take away from what she achieved, I am just responding to the term Slumdog Millionaire used in this context]
