Freida Pinto on her Fav Bollywood star and why she would never do indian roles again

Freida Pinto who will be playing the role of a Columbian woman in her Upcoming film Blunt Force Trauma reveals that she's played nearly every other ethnicity, not just seeing herself as a middle class woman from Mumbai.In her Interview to Associated Press, she says,
"I think I've singlehandedly offended Palestinians, Iranians, the Arabs, and probably Indians by playing all their roles,"she said .

"As long as I'm not pining to play the Queen of England, which is not my ambition, I think it's perfectly fine to try and find those very versatile, colorblind roles."

"I don't want to play just the Indian women," "Because I don't feel like just the Indian woman. I feel like so much more than that. When I watch movies about women around the world, I relate to all of them. My race and my ethnicity really follow after the acceptance of the fact that I'm human and I'm a woman."

On her Fav Bolly Actress : . From contemporary cinema, Alia Bhatt. She's amazing, she's really funny. She has a great sense of humor. I think there was a thing that happened where she fudged the name of the prime minister of India or something like that on a big talk show, and they said, "Oh, the girl's dumb." So she went out and did a skit on it, about being super dumb (laughs) and I just thought it was great. And she did this film called Highway, and all the songs on that film are just phenomenal.

Like BW is begging her to do their films She is just too full of herself even after playing side roles in HW movies ..Anyways she is jobless these days..
And Alia being her fav actress proves her taste and knowledge about BW 🄱
And why is she always dissing India despite being from India herself 🤢 She needs to change her attitude šŸ˜•

I don't think BW is interested in you either.


Her statements these days make me so sad. I loved her in Slumdog. So sad she's changed since then.


You should always be proud of your roots/culture/identity. Oh well. BW doesn't need you. They don't want to accept you not because you're 'dark' or not 'Indian enough' but because of your attitude towards the culture and your disinterest in the country.
