Following the release of “Slumdog Millionaire,” the actress has been receiving lots of Hollywood offers, but, she told the magazine, no one from Bollywood had approached her yet. I have done no film in India so it is very hard for people to accept me as an actress. They don’t really know who I am or they probably don’t take me too seriously.” she said. ”I haven’t been directly approached to do a Bollywood film.
After ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ I was given scripts to read but was not directly approached. I don’t think I fit the bill.”
As per the tabloids buzz, the actress is currently dating her “Slumdog Millionaire” co-star Dev Patel.
The 26-year-old actress is has four upcoming Hollywood projects including Woody Allen’s “You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger,” Julian Schnabel’s “Miral,” Rupert Wyatt’s sci-fi flick “Rise Of The Apes” and Tarsem Singh’s “Immortals.”
For a while there were also rumors swirling about a potential role for Pinto in the next Bond movie. Directed by Sam Mendes and starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, the next 007 movie does not have a release date yet and, according to news reports, neither camp has confirmed that the Indian actress will take on the coveted role as Bond’s leading lady.
