Freida Pinto<\/strong> always wanted to be a global citizen and after making a place for herself in Hollywood, the Indian actress is keen to star in a Bollywood movie.<\/p>\n

The actress, who shot to international fame with her role in Danny Boyle-directed Oscar-winning saga Slumdog Millionaire<\/em>, says there have been opportunities in the past but things somehow did not work out. She is also keen to collaborate with a female director in Bollywood.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to work in Bollywood. I never said that I am not interested in working in Indian film industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would love to work with a female Indian director. There were times when I liked the scripts but as I had already committed to other films in Hollywood, I could not do. At other times the roles were not exciting or strong enough for me to take up,\u201d Freida told PTI in an interview in New Delhi.<\/p>\n

The 30-year-old actress says Hollywood was always on her mind and feels proud that she overcame all limitations and realized her dream of working outside India.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always wanted to be a global citizen. I knew I had to pack my bags go out and establish myself at the global platform. That was my dream. I could do that because I had the right education. I have transcended all the possible limitations. I hope my story can inspire other girls,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Freida, born and brought up in Mumbai, says she is grateful to her roots for keeping her strong in the foreign land.<\/p>\n

\u201cIndia has taught me a lot; it is something about this country, be the people or the hardships we face but it teaches you great lessons. I don’t get shocked when I see poverty in any country because I have seen it in my own country. India has made me value relationships.\u201d<\/p>\n

Freida says she is always conscious about presenting herself as a universal actress as she does not want be stereotyped on the basis of her origin.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I go to a filmmaker in Hollywood I don’t present myself as someone who has come from some other country but I go there as an actress. When I choose a role, I look at it from the perspective of content rather than the fact that I am Indian and I should do specific kind of roles. When it comes to work, I just think like an actor,\u201d Frieda added.<\/p>\n

The You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger<\/em> star feels Hollywood is more open today to various ethnicities.<\/p>\n

\u201cStereotyping of Indian actors has reduced a lot there. It is much easier now but had I entered 10 years back it would have been difficult getting good work there,” she said.<\/p>\n
