On February 20, Freida Pinto was honored with the “Global Indian Face of the Year” at the All India Women Concert by Pearls Wave. She attended the event with her mother (picture above) and looked gorgeous in an Indian design. Check out a few pictures from the event (thanks to Indian websites for them!) by clicking on the preview above. Enjoy!

At least he says so! According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Showbiz411 blog, Schnabel says Miral is his best movie yet. After The Diving Bell and the Butterfly and Before Night Falls, that’s saying a lot! He also mentioned that the movie is close to be finished and that Freida Pinto portrays the title character of Miral.

There’s also a rumor saying that the movie is very likely to be shown at the Cannes Internation Film Festival in May! When more information about this surfaces, you can be sure to find it here. :)

ELLE goes back a long way with the talented Ms Pinto. In fact, she did her first editorial feature with us way back in January 2006. I am embarrassed to say that it was not our best effort. Everything that could go wrong, went wrong and in spite of all our attempts the end result was not great. It was a frustrating, long day and tempers were frayed. What stood out in my mind though was the professionalism of the two rookie models. They were patient, motivated and willing to go that extra mile. Today one of them is a top model and the other – our cover girl – is an international star.

But when she first started out I don’t think anyone could have predicted her rapid rise to success. Yes, she is beautiful. Hard- working. Determined. And yes, with her debut Slumdog Millionaire, her career was fast-tracked. What makes Freida so unique is that she recognised the opportunity that was presented to her and made the most of it. In a most sensible manner. At this February 2010 photo shoot – when everything went right as you can see she was grace personified. But still really, really hard-working. We love Freida Pinto because she is a dream to work with.

Today, January 19, is Freida Pinto Fan’s one year anniversary! I can’t believe it was one year ago I launched this website, in the midst of all the Slumdog Millionaire-craze and award season. I adored Freida right away, and was so excited to learn about her new movies, L’Oreal contracts and more. Speaking of; what a year it’s been for Freida! I’m truly happy for her, and I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring us. And you can be sure that Freida Pinto Fan will be here all the way, providing you with the latest information, pictures and more!

Earlier today, Freida Pinto attended the launch of a new Louis Vuitton luxury store in Mumbai, India. She was photographed next to Indian celebrities such as Sendhil Ramamurthy (from Heroes), Shilpa Shetty, Malaika Arora Khan, Lara Dutta, Sameera Reddy and Shamita Shetty. Check out the first photo by clicking here. If more pictures surface, I’ll add them right away.

With being a L’Oreal spokesmodel comes a lot of questions about beauty tips. Freida Pinto isn’t an exception. So here are a few of her basic things. And she uses the Go 360 Clean face wash too, of course. ;)

“I don’t have too many beauty tips because I am not fond of wearing too much make-up but the first would be to drink a lot of water because water really cleanses your system and it keeps you fresh and your eyes looking fresh. I also recommend adding a lot of fruit and vegetables to your diet and not making it too meat centric.

The next one would be sleep well – sleep is as important as food and water and keeps you looking fresh the next day. So if you get a good eight hours sleep it always helps. It all still takes work.”
