Nonprofessional actress, member of the TV show and the model won the British director Danny Boyle, the film Frida which opened the way to life. The film "Slumdog Millionaire" is rightfully earned the love of the audience and the recognition of film critics around the world.

• Michael Martin: How would you describe the past few years?

Freida Pinto: They amuse me endlessly. You know, sometimes, lifelong dream of a miracle, and when the miracle happens - it's so hard to understand. At the same time, it can not be too serious. This life is like, that you are your own grave Roesch. Some would say that I was damn lucky. But only I know how hard I was 25 years old. I did not get to the work of the actress, and I moved on to work the event organizer. Only it was not mine. Only there was no choice. I just put on a cross. I often have nervous breakdowns ...

• Martin: Before you get a role in Slumdog Millionaire, you have been listening to more than one other picture. And you will not take. How would you handle this situation?

Pinto: I am glad that my life was that way. I said to myself, "Okay. Let me a hundred times will be denied, but I get my chance. And become part of a truly worthwhile project. "And so it happened.

Pinto: Woody amazing. It allows the actors to be natural. He says that everything should be as natural as life, in fact actors reserves the right to complete freedom. It is for understanding, rather than analyzing the role.

Interview to Independent

I dreamed of becoming an actress from the age of five. I would like to take part in every school play. And I thought that brilliantly portray Michael Jackson. But it was just a game of imagination.

My career has evolved at light speed. Sometimes I thought it was too fast. And I dreamed of respite. But in the next moment I realized how much I love my work, and I do not want him to stop.

In India, I was not taken seriously as an actress. But at the same time, there are some people who really love what I do. In general, India is a beautiful country, which is impossible not to love.

I always worried because of work. I could slukavit and say that I am absolutely calm and confident in what I'm doing. But it is not. I am very worried. I would like to always know what will happen next. I think I'll get a job. But I'm worried about the recurrence of problems and errors.

I can not travel light. I have thoughts like "What if it will be cold, will there be enough ten sweaters? Or it will not be so cold? ". So I take a lot of things. I carried with me the food, though I understand those who carries. They just miss home kitchen. So my suitcases packed with clothes and shoes.

I do not think we have Dave Patel (Frida's boyfriend, a partner in the film "Slumdog Millionaire for") acting in the same film again. This chemistry is in the "Millionaire" will not be repeated. Too high standard. If there will be a joint film, only in the opposite situation: we have to play mortal enemies.

Life paraded totally devoid of intimacy. Sometimes the attention of others is impeding. But nothing I can do about it. All public people live under the gun sights. I just have to learn to live with it.

To better understand their role in "Trishna» («Trishna»), I constantly draws parallels between the script and the book that inspired the creation of this film. At some point, I stopped doing it. It is actually two stories about different countries, different times. Therefore, the character of Tess of the same character appears in a totally different environment.

Work on the "Trishna" taught me a lot about the culture of my own country. I am originally from Mumbai, and the shooting took place in Rajasthan. I was there as a tourist. But now I am more deeply imbued with the culture of this place. I carefully prepared, even lived with a local family.
