I don't have a fixed address: Freida Pinto
While she is travelling all around the world and meeting famous people, Freida Pinto, heroine of the Oscar-winning film "Slumdog Millionaire", feels Mumbai will always be her home."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.
"Ultimately, Mumbai will always be home. That's where my family is," she added.
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.
Freida, a model and a travel show presenter in India, said when she auditioned for Danny Boyle's "Slumdog...", she didn't know that it would become such a big hit.
"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."
"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 added.

Where do Dev-Freida meet
Where do “Slumdog Millionaire” stars Dev Patel and his lady love Freida Pinto meet?
Any guesses? We are sure not many will get this one right.
Apparently, the secret meeting place between the two is a loo!
It seems during the promotion of “Slumdog Millionaire” in India, the duo would snatch some time between the interviews and get into the ladies' rooms of five-star hotels.
We know they were super busy then, but still! Moreover, at that time weren't they supposed to be “good friends only”?

Exclusive Pics:Freida Pinto and Dev Patel on a date
They have always denied that their on-screen romance spilled over into real life.
But if Freida Pinto and Dev Patel really are just friends, as they claim, then they are very close ones.
The Slumdog Millionaire stars were spotted enjoying an intimate lunch together in Israel, where Miss Pinto is filming on location.
Sources said that Patel, 18, had flown all the way out there for just a quick visit with her.
An onlooker at the lunch said: ‘They looked very close. They sat side by side and looked into each other’s eyes. At one stage, Freida leaned in towards him and rested her head on his shoulder.’
The Indian actress, 24, is starring in filmmaker Julian Schnabel’s latest project Miral.
The pictures of her lunch with Patel add weight to comments made by their Slumdog co-star Anil Kapoor, who said earlier this year that the young couple had a ‘magical chemistry’.
Asked on a radio show if there was any romance going on while they were in India, he said: ‘As I matter of fact, when I meet them I feel there is something happening.’
‘She says I have to look after him and I have to babysit him and that kind of stuff, [but I think] this is the beginning of something exciting happening. They definitely make a great pair. Both of them look very good together.’
Friends and colleagues have said that the pair became closer as they toured the world promoting Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film.
Patel had previously starred in Channel 4 drama Skins, while Miss Pinto is a former model and presenter.
She has already hit the headlines for breaking up with her fiancé, public relations executive Rohan Antao, to concentrate on her career.
A spokesman for Patel declined to comment on his relationship with Miss Pinto.

Freida Pinto be the next Diane Keaton!
Confirming this, her sister, Sharon Pinto, who works as a television producer, said, "Yes, Freida has been cast in a film to be directed by Woody Allen, but she is also very busy with her agent in Los Angeles to work out her acting agenda. Currently she is overstressed with all the interviews, the media barrage."
Woody Allen, one of America's iconic directors has made such classics as Annie Hall, Crimes and Misdemeanours, Husbands and Wives and Bullets Over Broadway.
Once married to Mia Farrow, the couple had a messy divorce, when Allen was discovered to be having an affair with one of their adopted daughters.
Despite the scandal, Allen has always been considered one of Hollywood's maverick filmmakers, known for his wit, his zany take on urban relationships, and his eccentric dialogue writing.
Woody Allen
Despite this casting coup, Pinto is shying away from the Indian media currently. "The last two weeks have been difficult for Freida with all the speculation about her personal life in the media.
Some details have been very unsavoury and traumatic for her, and the family at large. Currently she is sleeping and catching some rest in Los Angeles. Also it being Oscar week, she has been in and out of interviews.
We try to keep in touch with her, but then I always have to Google what the LA time is, for she might be asleep! I think it's time to let her be," said sister Sharon, insisting that Freida have some privacy. Well, Los Angeles is miles away from Goa, Freida. Chill out. And congratulations.

Freida Celebrates leaving ex-boyfriend Devastated
The Slumdog Millionaire team might be celebrating hard and the whole of India might be celebrating with them, but Rohan Antao sure isn't one of them. The man says that he hates the Oscar winning movie and won't watch it because it ended his relationship with the film's heroine Freida Pinto.
He thinks the movie's reported off-screen romance between Freida and her co-star Dev Patel, who is six years her junior, ended his relationship. He reportedly told the News of the World, "She ended it with me after getting close to Dev Patel. Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated. I hate the film. It wrecked my relationship. As soon as it became a success and she started spending all her time with Dev, she ended it."
Antao, who is a marketing executive, said the two met six years ago and that he proposed to her in 2007. Some even claim that they were married in 2007 but Slumdog Millionaire turned their lives around.
He said, "The film bosses didn't want her to be engaged. It would affect the whole emphasis of the film, the love story. I had no say in it. I was kind of forced to lie to director Danny Boyle about the relationship when they met at a party. He was very down to earth, but I had to lie all evening and say I was just Freida's boyfriend."
After seeing Freida with Dev at the Toronto Film Festival last September, Antao said he sent Dev an angry text message saying: 'You do know she is engaged, don't you?" but he never responded.
He said, “I feel bitter towards Dev. If you are engaged to someone, the last thing you want to be thinking about is whether Dev Patel is telling her how wonderful she is. She is infatuated with Dev. I don't know if they were having a sexual relationship but if I came face to face with him I would have things to say. I wish her success in her career, but I can't watch the Oscars, and I don't want to watch the film - it wrecked our love.”
This one sure is scorned lover. We wonder what the effect of his words is going to have on ambitious Freida who's flying high and not thinking about anything negative right now.

Rohan Antao, Freida Pinto's fiance, has spoken to British weekly News Of The World about their split. The issue hit stands on Sunday, just before the Oscar ceremony went underway.
Antao blames Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire for the reported romance between Freida and her co-star Dev Patel, six years her junior.
"She ended it with me after getting close to Dev Patel. Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated," the 24-year-old Antao said.
About the Oscar-winning movie, he stated, "I hate the film. It wrecked my relationship. As soon as it became a success and Freida started spending all her time with Dev, she ended it," he added.

"The film bosses didn't want her to be engaged. It would affect the whole emphasis of the film the love story. I had no say in it."
He further claims that he was forced to lie to Danny Boyle about their relationship when they met at a party. "He was very down to earth, but I had to lie all evening and say I was Freida's boyfriend, not her fiance."
Angry SMS

"I feel bitter towards Dev. If you are engaged to someone, the last thing you want to be thinking about is whether Dev Patel is telling her how wonderful she is," Antao said.
He said he and Freida broke off last month after she called him. "She is infatuated with Dev. I don't know if they were having a sexual relationship but if I came face to face with him I would have things to say."
"I wish her success in her career," he added.

Dev and Freida spotted shopping for ring
Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto have fuelled dating rumours after being spotted shopping for a ring on Valentine’s Day.
The report comes after their co-star Anil Kapoor recently revealed he could feel “the beginning of something exciting” between the two.
The 18-year-old lad was seen taking his six-year-senior “lady love” to a High Street jeweller’s on Oxford Street – and left without purchasing anything.
“Dev and Frieda seemed completely smitten with each other. They spent 15 minutes in the jeweller’s and were quite happy to sign autographs and talk to fans,” the Sun quoted an onlooker as saying.
“They paid particular attention to one of the cabinets which was full of the more expensive rings stocked by the store chain.
“They didn’t buy anything in the end, but they certainly spent plenty of time studying the range,” the onlooker added.
Something happening b/v Dev and Frieda
Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, stars of the Indian-themed movie Slumdog Millionaire, may be dating in real life, according to their co-star Anil Kapoor.
Kapoor told an American radio station the pair, who play childhood sweethearts who find love in and out of slums, had a "magical chemistry".
"As a matter of fact, when I meet them I feel there is something happening," Kapoor told Ryan Seacrest's Morning Show on Los Angeles-based KIIS FM.
"But she says 'I have to look after him' and 'I have to baby sit him' and that kind of stuff... (I think) this is the beginning of something exciting happening.
"They definitely make a great pair. Both of them look very good together," Kapoor said, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Pinto, 24, and London-based Patel, 18, were spotted recently sharing Oreo cheesecake at a bakery in Los Angeles and have become close as they travelled the world promoting their film, the paper reported Friday.
Pinto, a former model, split with her fiance last month.

Freida Pinto’s Wardrobe Worries
Freida Pinto, the female lead in Slumdog Millionaire, is enjoying every minute of her new-found stardom, but she’s also experienced the downsideof being in the public eye.
The off-shoulder dress she wore for the Golden Globes has come in for some criticism and when asked about it, she says, “It seemed the right choice at the time, but I’m obviously going to be more careful now.”
But, apart from that, she’s quite thrilled at the reception she got after returning to India. She says, “It’s been a great homecoming. I need to treasure these moments for the rest of my life. For someone who’s never acted before, this break was a blessing.
Working for Danny Boyle was like attending the best acting school in the world. When we started working, he told me, ‘Life isn’t always the same. Brace yourself for the world!’ The attention does get overwhelming at times and I’m still getting used to it. I’m actually quite shy.”

Freida likes Imran Khan
Golden Globe winning film Slumdog Millionaire's lead actress Freida Pinto talks about her Bollywood favourites, media speculation about her personal life and if she considers herself a destiny's child.
Golden Globe winning film Slumdog Millionaire's lead actress Frieda Pinto talks about her Bollywood favourites, media speculation about her personal life and if she considers herself a destiny's child.
CNN-IBN: You can truly be called destiny's child, so Freida would you say everything worked out just right for you?
Freida Pinto: Yes I guess it did. I believe it was the right amount of hard work and some amount of luck as well.
CNN-IBN: What kind of films do you like and who are your favourite actors?
Freida Pinto: Among the newer lot, I like Imran Khan a lot and I liked Vishal Bharadwaj's Omkara as well and Aamir Khan he is top notch.
CNN-IBN: So is it now time for you to say goodbye to Hollywood and say hello to Bollywood?
Freida Pinto: Now that is a difficult question. No it wouldn't be right to do that, all I want to say is that I'm right here and I am open to receiving all kinds of scripts. Even in Bollywood, there are some very interesting films being made these days, so I'm open to both.
CNN-IBN: With so much media attention there's bound to be some prying into your private life. Are you prepared?
Freida Pinto: Well it has already started, my sister called me up to tell me that on Wikipedia I was dating some guy in UK. So I guess it's the price you have to pay and I'm coping with it.
