Freida Pinto: Don?t call me pretty

7th November 2010

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Freida Pinto let her looks ?go to her head? when she was a child.

The Indian actress played Latika in 2008 smash Slumdog Millionaire, a role that thrust her into the spotlight. Freida has since been praised for her stunning good looks, which she admits has happened for most of her life. As a child people would always praise her in front of her family, which initially had a bad effect on her.

?When I was small, a lot of people would say I was a cute chubby little baby, with light blue eyes, and my mum said that initially I let it go to my head,? she admitted. ?But by the time I reached college, I kind of toned it down. It?s like a growing-up experience.?

Nowadays, Freida hates people talking about her appearance. She wants her work to speak for itself, and not be all about the colour of her hair or shape of her face.

?I don?t like that to be honest,? she told Look magazine. ?Every time someone tells me, ?You look so beautiful in the film,? I don?t care! Just tell me if the performance was good.? (C) Cover Media
