September 20, 2010 (Sampurn Wire): Actress Freida Pinto thought that dealing with reporters and photographers at big movie premieres would be a piece of cake after she experienced her first red carpet about a couple of years back at the internationally acclaimed Toronto International Film Festival.
As per her words, there wasn’t anyone present at the red carpet for the premier of the film Slumdog Millionaire. She said that there was just one photographer and one interviewer at the premier for the movie; things however changed real soon after the movie grabbed a few Academy Awards. Frieda’s story has been totally like a fairytale. She came to the festival as a new face and became a rising star.
She claims that she was very nervous and was excited at the same time too, but soon things took a turn for the better and she became the movie star that she always dreamt of becoming. She currently is busy playing, Woody Allen’s You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Julian Schnabel’s Miral.
Pinto, who is 25 now, was raised in the city of Mumbai and initially started off as a model as well as a travel show host on TV before her big movie career blossomed. She would also be seen in the upcoming Immortals and the prequel to the Planet of the Apes, aptly titled Rise of the Apes. In the month of December, she would begin filming Black Thirst.
