Actor Freida Pinto, while chatting with The Daily Telegraph, called Indian media ‘cruel’, and said she’s not taken seriously as an actor here.
“I’ve realised they’re cruel about everyone. They like to hate and make folks hate as well, that's sad as a number of the stories are untrue or
misconstrued,” said Freida, 27, recalling being mocked for her accent, and calling Mumbai by its original name.
In the interview, Freida also admitted that fame was “almost too much” for her after filming 2008 smash hit movie Slumdog Millionaire, and he or she felt her co-star and boyfriend Dev Patel was the one one that “truly understood” what she was going through.
“If I WANTED to speak to someone about what happened, he was the one one that knew what was occurring. It was nice to have those moments and that have together,” she told the magazine.
She won't get a meaty role in a Bollywood film, but Freida's fans will see her soon in two Hollywood flicks soon. She's going to be seen portraying the nature of an Iranian woman in Black Gold and an Indian woman in Trishna.
