Actress Freida Pinto, of Oscar-winning “Slumdog Millionaire” fame, said on Friday she would have become a wedding planner if she had not succeeded in show business.
\n<\/strong>
\nPinto<\/strong>, a former model, said “my only passion was acting” but she had told her sister that if she hadn’t become successful by the age of 25, she would switch profession.<\/p>\n

“But fortunately when I was 23, Slumdog Millionaire happened and so I didn’t become a wedding planner,” Pinto, now 28, told a conference organised by a media group.<\/p>\n

Since the actress shot to fame with the 2008 “Slumdog Millionaire”<\/strong>, she has worked in other international movie projects like Woody Allen’s “You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger”, “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” and “Trishna”.<\/p>\n

She said that dealing with sudden fame with “Slumdog Millionaire” directed by Danny Boyle was difficult.<\/p>\n

Since then, her biggest effort has been to avoid being stereotyped as the “token Indian girl” in Hollywood movies.<\/p>\n

“I played the racial ambiguity card when I had to look for roles in the West,” she said.<\/p>\n

“I didn’t want to be the ethnic Indian girl, but I had no problem doing (other) ethnic roles,” said Pinto, who has played Middle Eastern and Latin American parts.
