Overrated in terms of her looks..


Yea I understand her looks are considered exotic..
She is a good looking lady, but the way people react to it is something I dont understand 'Her features are perfect' 'She is soo stunning/Beautiful' wait what?. Ive seen other Indian actresses that are better stunners..Parminder Nagra, Archie Punjabi
Her acting skills are terrible, so whats with all the hype?



Yep that's my opinion..

Westerners outside of maybe Britain aren't exposed to many India people in their daily lives which makes her different and exotic. Add some patronizing PC fawning and walah.

Look at someone like Devon Aoki. To me she is down right fugly but people rave about her.

I don't think either of those other actresses you mentioned are better looking and Sunny Leone swallows cock on film for a living so not a relevant comparison.

Neither of those women you mentioned are better looking than Freida Pinto... she is gorgeous and played her role perfectly in slumdog

I agree. Parminder Nagra is quite typical looking to me. Same with Archie Panjabi.

You can find at least a dozen indian chicks not just hotter than pinto but the average woman in downton Houston or Dallas. Theyre a dime or dozen in some places.

There is nothing typical or overrated about her looks.
Frieda Pinto is one of the hottest Indian women in the world, maybe Mallika Sherawat comes close. Anushka Sharma is also very good looking.
But you want to talk about overrated, all the popular and successful Bollywood actresses like Katrina Kaif, Kareena Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai, Priyanka Chopra, etc. are indeed overrated.

I agree with your later statement but your initial observation made laugh really hard.Malika Sherawat hot.RFLMAO.The only reason she is famous is for putting on this 'look at me, I am daring and have no qualms dropping my clothes on screen' attitude.
Anushka Sharma is one of the few intelligent actresses in the industry, but lately she is lost to botox.She is hardly recognizable and looks like an alien now.

Freida Pinto got lucky with Slumdog.She is not pretty, let alone exotic.The local college girls here in Mumbai or in Delhi are miles prettier than her.

If you truly want to admire Indian beauties, you could give the likes of Sharmila Tagore, Smita Patil, Preity Zinta, Chitrangada Singh a look.I would even say Lisa Ray(who is actually a Canadian of Indian Origins).

PS:Katrina Kaif is not Indian.Her real name is Katrina Turquotte.She is British and still holds British passport.
Aishwarya Rai is indeed pretty.She can be a prick and thinks too much of herself.But she is a beauty.

Beauty is obviously in the eyes of the beholder. Neither of those women you mentioned are prettier than Pinto.
