Two years have gone since the Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire created a buzz and brought Freida Pinto to the limelight, but there have been parctically no roles back home here for her.
“I have done no film in India so it is very hard for people to accept me as an actress. They don’t really know who I am or they probably don’t take me too seriously,” Pinto told New York Times in an interview.
“I haven’t been directly approached to do a Bollywood film. After Slumdog Millionaire I was given scripts to read but was not directly approached. I don’t think I fit the bill,” she added.
The 25-year-old actress will soon be seen in films like You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, Miral, Rise of the Apes and Immortals. “Hollywood definitely have accepted me much more willingly than in India. I am not famous in India. I don’t get chased around,” she said.
