Freida Pinto (born 18 October 1984) is an Indian actress and professional model born in Mumbai to a wealthy Mangalorean Catholic family. Her surname is Portuguese and Pinto has said that she probably has distant Portuguese ancestry. Pinto dreamed of becoming an actress since she was five years old. She studied at Carmel of St. Joseph School in Malad, Mumbai and completed her Bachelor of Arts with a major in English Literature, and minors in Psychology and Economics, from St. Xavier’s College, Mumbai. She later joined Elite Model Management and modelled for two and a half years.
Before starring in Slumdog Millionaire, Pinto anchored the international travel show between 2006–08. Pinto was also featured in several television and print advertisements for products such as Wrigley’s Chewing Gum and DeBeers. Pinto modeled for four years and appeared in runway shows and magazine covers. She learned acting from The Barry John’s Acting Studio in Andheri and was trained by theatre director Barry John. After six months of auditions, Pinto made her feature film debut in 2008 in Slumdog Millionaire. Pinto was nominated for “Best Actress in a Supporting Role” at the 2009 BAFTA Awards, and won the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture alongside the other cast members. Pinto also appeared in the 2011 science fiction film Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and also appeared in the 2011 fantasy-action-drama film, Immortals, in which she played the oracle priestess Phaedra.
Pinto is featured in People magazine’s List of World’s Best Dressed Women. She has also been listed in the top ten list of the fashion magazine Vogue’s 2009 annual list of the most stylish women. As of 2011 she is the highest paid Indian actress. On 13 May 2009, Pinto became a new spokesmodel for L’Oréal. -Wikipedia

Why we think she’s hot:
Freida Pinto worked the modeling circuit for Elite Model Management for over two years before gaining her big break as the female lead in Slumdog Millionaire. Shockingly, she only began to take acting classes after the film debuted, and after she had already won her Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. Perhaps, that had a little to do with her dream of becoming an actress since she was just a little, five year old Mumbaite, as she was clearly very skilled at her craft. Either way, if you’re a fan of Pinto’s drop dead gorgeousness like we are, you’re obviously glad Smartasses took notice of her because, hey, more Freida.
