Freida fame: Is it luck or talent?
Here’s why we think Freida Pinto’s the most fortunate actress ever!
Freida fame: Is it luck or talent?1. Average Looks
In India, you will find a non-red carpet Freida in all big cities. She is average in every way and failed to make a mark in her own country, either as a model or as an actress. Until Slumdog happened!
2. Brilliant Publicity Machine
Freida knows exactly how to stay in the limelight. She dumped college sweetheart Rohan Antao for Slumdog co-star Dev Patel, and has missed no opportunity to flaunt their togetherness. She’s a staple on EVERY red carpet – from Toronto and LA to Dubai and Abu Dhabi – and never puts a fashion foot wrong.
3. Oscar-winning Debut
Her first – and only – movie was Slumdog, the Oscar juggernaut. Although her role as Latika was short , Freida Pinto was the only female face of the raved-about film!
4. Woody Allen Break
Post Slumdog, Freida’s bagged herself a Woody Allen movie. In one stroke, she’s left behind the Katrinas and Kareenas and moved on to Hollywood and made London her home. Will Woody make a Scarlett out of her? We wait and watch…
