B’town’s duty-bound era ends Freida Pinto lauds rise of flawed female leads

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto has hailed the changing landscape of Indian cinema and television, celebrating the shift toward portraying complex, multi-dimensional female characters.
Speaking with the media, the international actress expressed her relief at seeing the industry move away from rigid, puritanical, and solely duty-bound roles. Pinto emphasized that imperfect, flawed women are far more relatable and interesting to audiences.

Rising to global prominence following her 2008 breakout role in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning drama, Pinto has consistently chosen diverse projects, spanning global blockbusters and hard-hitting independent films like Trishna and Love Sonia. Looking ahead, she noted her excitement for an explosion of creativity in India’s entertainment sector, driven by a bold, idea-packed younger generation.
