It’s been like almost two years since actress Freida pinto witnessed a marvelous rise to international fame with the Oscar winning movie Slumdog Millionaire, but no roles seem to be coming her way in home city, Mumbai. She is sought after everywhere but at her home city, Mumbai.

“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 said in an interview.
Freida feels she is not that typical heroine who suits the requirements in Bollywood movies.

“I haven’t been directly approached to do a Bollywood movie. After Slumdog Millionaire I was given scripts to read but was not directly approached. I don’t think I fit the bill,” she included.

“Hollywood definitely has accepted me much more enthusiastically than in India. I am not famous in India. I don’t get chased around,” she told.

The 25-year-old actress will soon be seen in movies like You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, Miral, Rise of the Apes and Immortals.
