Washington, Apr 23: Bollywood actor Anil Kapoor is desperate to get back to India to investigate reports that his young Slumdog Millionaire co-star Rubina Ali''s father tried to sell her.

The 49-year-old actor is currently in Hollywood to receive an honour at the seventh annual Indian Film Festival.

Kapoor admits he always feared that the child stars of the Oscar winning film would be exploited upon their return to India after a trip to the Oscars in February (09).

Saawariya gal Sonam Kapoor said no to working with veteran actor and her loving father Anil Kapoor.

The reason for this is that Sonam feels that her dad looks far younger than his age to play a conventional father in a Bollywood film.

"Do you really think he looks like my Dad? No! He doesn't. He looks far younger than his age. And that's why I wouldn't want him to play my father. The role in 'Ayesha' that you're mentioning didn't suit him. My dad can't play the conventional father," Sonam said.
