Slumdog Millionaire's child stars have returned to India to a heroes' welcome.
Hundreds of well-wishers waited for them at Mumbai Airport where they were escorted through the crowds by dozens of police, some heavily armed.
The film, a rags-to-riches tale set in Mumbai's slums, won eight Oscars, including best film.
The four children came out with arms around each others' shoulders, while one girl, Rubina Ali, clutched a small fluffy brown toy rabbit.
They waved and blew kisses to the crowd, showing off their newly-acquired red carpet skills.
