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.
