Ask Adnan: Some things about Freida Pinto
Monday, February 23rd, 2009
I started a new category called “Ask Adnan” (more information on the top of the page). A lot of people want to know more information about Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire), so here’s everything I’ve got so far:
Freida Pinto was born on October 18, 1984 (meaning she is currently 24 years old).
She was born in India.
She is 5′ 6” tall.
Prior to Slumdog Millionaire, she was a model with Elite Models in India.
In 2006-2007, she was an anchor for a show called “Full Circle” where she had assignments in Afghanistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Fiji among other countries.
Her dad is a banker, her mom a principal of a high school, and her sister, Sharon, is a producer for an Indian television channel.
Inspiring quote from Freida Pinto:
This industry is for fighters and those who do not give up! It is very important to believe in yourself. Even when a hundred people rejected me, I did not lose hope and finally one of the biggest directors of all times [Danny Boyle]believed in me! Also working in this film [Slumdog Millionaire] has taught me a lot, not just in terms of acting but also about myself, which is an integral part of being a good actor!
I totally see this girl in a Neutrogena commercial.
