Freida Pinto says Mumbai is still home to her. The 24-year-old actress is presently working on a film, ‘Miral’, in Israel and has also been signed by Woody Allen for an untitled film to be shot in London. Though there was talk that she might shift to the US, Freida says she doesn’t have a fixed address yet.
“I don’t have a fixed address as I’m making movies all over the world. I’m filming in Israel at the moment and who knows after that, so I’m not making plans to buy my own place yet,” dailymail.co.uk quoted Freida as saying.
However, Freida still feels connected to Mumbai.
“Ultimately, Mumbai will always be home. That’s where my family is,” she added.
Freida, who worked as a model before rising to international fame, said she hadn’t anticipated that Slumdog Millionaire would become so successful.
“I had no idea ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ would become such a huge success. In fact, when we were filming, none of us expected it, so the feeling of surprise and shock is still with me,” Freida said.
The actress added that she still can’t believe the success that’s come her way through the film.
“The film won eight Oscars and I was nominated for Best Supporting actress at the Baftas, and now, when I look back at photographs in magazines of me at the film awards, I can still hardly believe it’s me,” she revealed.
With fame, Freida has also courted her share of controversies, be it her bitter break-up with her ex-fiancé or her alleged romantic affair with co-star Dev Patel
