The Slumdog Millionaire actor did a racy photoshoot for a US-based magazine. Did she really need to…
When we first heard that Freida Pinto had shed her girl-next-door image and actually gone topless for an American magazine, we were shocked. Weren’t you, too? Why in the world would she do that? Then we got thinking, and we realised that it’s not so shocking, after all.Freida first burst onto the scene with the Academy Award-winning Slumdog Millionaire. And look how she capitalised on that! Remember how, till the film released, you thought she was the heroine? Then you went to watch it, and waited and waited for more than two-thirds of the movie for her to come onscreen. That didn’t stop her from dressing up in designer wear and attending almost every prestigious film festival she could get invited to. All that networking got her Woody Allen’s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger and Julian Schnabel’s Miral, but she failed to impress both critics and audiences with her performances in either film. Even Bollywood has not come calling. Buzz is that B-towners are not very appreciative of this pretty lady’s histrionics, so no one’s really interested in offering her any roles here. Freida’s career has not taken off the way you would expect, considering that her first film took her to the Oscars. After her first splash, she is hardly making even a ripple nowadays. Now, are you still surprised with her dare bare act? Definitely not when we remind you that her next film, the Hollywood biggie, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, releases on August 5. What can we say? We just hope it all works out for Freida and she can put her shirt back on. We ain’t betting ours on that one!
