Frieda Pinto’s life in the last few months makes a perfect screenplay. She had a dream debut as a leading lady in this year’s greatest movie Slumdog Millionaire, she was in the news for dumping her boy friend of four years to concentrate on her acting career, she was voted as ‘next style icon” by Vanity Fair magazine, got criticized by the so called Indian fashion gurus for creating a fashion disaster with her dark blue, beaded, one sleeved gown by designer John Galliano at the Oscar night.
Ouch! To be in the news so much in such a little time with just one movie in the kitty and wanting to make it big in the cut throat celluloid world can be very very stressful. You make more enemies than friends at this juncture. You suddenly land in a position where everyone becomes your advisors; focus can be easily lost and chances of becoming a one movie wonder looms large.
Well Frieda can only thank her good god for it was not the case with her though. Not only she has remained to stay focused, she continued to woo the industry leaders at the last Sunday’s Oscar night and bagged a role in the next prestigious Woody Allen productions. Now that’s certainly is a break as getting the second break right after a blockbuster debut is what it takes to shape a successful career.
Yes, the starlet is to feature in Woody Allen's next film, alongside Australian actress Naomi Watts, Josh Brolin and Sir Anthony Hopkins. She couldn't have asked for a better break than this. Could She?
"This year's Cinderella at the Oscar ball will join the long list of Allen's muses as she takes on the ingénue role in the still-untitled pic," industry paper Variety reported.
Let’s hope this muse from Mumbai goes on to make it big and bring home more accolades in the time to come.
Well done and good luck Ms. Pinto!
