Washington, Mar 4: Slumdog Millionaire star Anil Kapoor has asked the parents of his young co-stars to focus on their kids’ education rather than acting careers.

The 52-year-old actor, who played Who Wants To Be A Millionaire TV host in the Oscar winning film revealed that he has already spoken to the children''s parents - and offered them advice.

"I told them they shouldn’t focus on getting the children more roles, but focus on education instead,” Contactmusic quoted him as telling HollyScoop. com.

"If they do more and more films as child actors, they become slightly lost," he added. (ANI)
