India Talks

Freida Pinto is set to move to New York.

The Indian actress is ready to quit her home in Mumbai to further her career following the success of her movie 'Slumdog Millionaire' - which won eight Academy Awards at last month's Oscars.

If she does relocate, Freida, 24, isn't worried about getting homesick because she says the Big Apple has a lot in common with the bustling Indian city.

She said: "I'd definitely move to New York because, in a way, it's very similar to Mumbai except that it's more organised. I was walking down Fifth Avenue recently and I realised that everyone is walking in one direction totally focused on what they're doing.

"I remember it being 5am one night and I was on the 23rd floor of a hotel, I could hear the honking cars and I thought, 'I feel like I'm in Mumbai!' "

Freida - who made her film debut in 'Slumdog Millionaire' - is confident she can be a success in Hollywood, despite the low number of Indian actors who have made it big in Tinseltown.

She told Britain's OK! magazine: "I'm not worried about not doing well. I feel a film like 'Slumdog...' has really showcased my acting talents. Because I'm not always seen in my best light in the movie - I have a scar on my face and a black eye - it de-glamorises the character and that in itself becomes the beauty of the character. Hopefully it will do great things for my career so people don't just see me as a beautiful model."

Im quite shocked that she thinks that her 15 min role showcases her acting talents, and then goes onto talking about how she looks in the film. A character's look does play a part, but her role really doesn't show a high degree of acting skill, it's not like it was a complex role or anything

Now this is called luck!

Well she much more lucky than this because...

Well, why would she want to stay in India.
It is better that she stays in US, isn't it.
It seems like Slumdog has been like gold pot for her.
I am hapy that she is going.
Atleast I won't have the torture of seeing her on TV.

And I'm happy for Frieda.Though,she needn't need to leave her Husband for her career. Even married women gets big in HW/BW ! Like,Like,Angelina....for instance. I guess,she's one of the human who can't handle their success.

I wish her best of luck.
