Capitalized Spectacularly!

I personally dont think she's a great actress and has some way to go in the acting department.... but I am very impressed with how she capitalized beautifully on her fame with Slumdog by getting good Hollywood representation and publicists.

As a person of Indian origin, I think she's a very good looking woman. But I can bet, if she were to have stuck around in India, looking for work, she would have been long forgotten. Thats the reality of the Indian movie going public and they take every opportunity to slam her for being "average looking". Which makes her success in the West all the more exciting (and I bet it makes the so-called A-list Bollywood actresses, quite envious!)

Go Freida!
