Freida Pinto is the Highest Paid Indian Actress of All Time

We can't help it if you're tired of hearing about Freida Pinto. She's made a great career for herself and it looks like she's here to stay. This week in particular marks a rather great week for the actress who originally had big Bollywood dreams. We can't deny that Freida Pinto has gone from being an unknown model to becoming a sought after actress almost overnight. I t is all a part of Freida Pinto's own underdog story.

Freida Pinto told sources in a recent interview, "For someone like me with no godfather in the film industry, it was easier to break into modeling. I did use modeling as a means to get into the film world. I enjoyed modeling. It taught me a lot in terms of being confident and definitely helped me prepare for what was to come next."

We can't wait to see what's ahead for this new talent. Freida Pinto has been in music videos, starred (of course) in "Slumdog Millionaire" and even appeared on the cover of this month's Vogue India issue. Well brace yourself, because as soon as the ink dries on her check for her upcoming Woody Allen film starring Anthony Hopkins, Josh Brolin, and Naomi Watts, Freida Pinto will become the highest paid Indian actress of all time. The new film that Freida Pinto will be a part of will compensate her with around three million US dollars. Prior to Freida Pinto's new honor of highest paid Indian actress, Kareena Kapoor was queen. And now the money that Freida Pinto will be making means that she is earning twice as much as top Bollywood actresses are paid. Freida Pinto will definitely need some encouragement after this if she's to do any Bollywood movies in the future.
