London
(ANI):
Slumdog
Millionaire
star
Freida
Pinto
wants
to
be
known
for
her
acting
skills,
rather
than
'just
a
pretty
face'.
In
an
interview
to
Hello!
magazine,
the
24-year-old
Mumbai
girl
said
she
is
determined
not
to
be
typecast
on
account
of
her
looks,
and
is
eager
to
play
challenging
roles.
"I
don't
want
to
be
known
as
just
a
pretty
face.
I
loved
Charlize
Theron
in
Monster.
I
want
to
play
parts
that
are
challenging
and
inspiring," the
Telegraph
quoted
her
as
saying.
"Slumdog
is
about
destiny,
and
my
personal
journey
through
this
film
has
made
me
realise
the
power
of
destiny.
Planning
doesn't
hurt,
but
it's
wonderful
to
know
that
sometimes
life
has
bigger
plans
for
you
than
you
had
for
yourself,"
she
added.
Pinto
also
revealed
that
she
cried
the
first
time
she
watched
the
critically
acclaimed
film.
"I
cried
the
first
time
I
watched
it.
It's
a
very
grounded
film.
I
can
honestly
say
it
communicates
the
pulse
of
this
vibrant
city,"
she
said.
“Danny
has
done
away
with
the
cliches
and
shows
India
developing
at
a
rapid
pace.
The
way
Mumbai
doesn't
try
to
hide
its
highs
or
its
lows
is
a
vital
part
of
its
character.
The
poor
and
rich
live
among
each
other,
and
its
slums
are
as
much
part
of
it
as
the
beautiful
structures
that
adorn
it,"
she
added.
