About Freida Pinto:
Freida Selena Pinto is an Indian actress and model. Hailing from a Mangalorean Catholic family, she wanted to become an actress from a young age. Prior to making her cinematic debut, she worked as a model and a television presenter, and acted in plays while attending college. Pinto continued modeling for four years and enrolled herself in an acting course at the "Barry John's Acting Studio" in Mumbai.
Everything big-budget or stereotypical I was offered after 'Slumdog Millionaire' was a huge no-no.
