Freida Pinto was born on 18 October 1984 to a Mangalorean Catholic family in Mumbai.[1][2][3] Her mother, Sylvia, is a principal of St John's Universal High School (Goregaon), and her father, Frederick, is a senior branch manager at the Bank of Baroda. Her older sister Sharon is an associate producer for the NDTV news channel.[4] Pinto dreamed of becoming an actress since she was five years old.[5] When Freida was ten, Indian model Sushmita Sen won Miss Universe 1994.
Caroline is, primarily, a primatologist – a scientist specialising in the study of primates. Of course, this is a fairly significant role in the film despite the fact it’s one of the two main parts (the other going to James Franco). She’ll be working closely with the special ape in question, and features heavily throughout the film, for all those playing Foxy Bingo and twiddling their thumbs until it hits cinemas.
It’s fantastic news that she’s been given yet another big role, and definitely means she won’t be relegated to the best friend or the love interest alone, as some actors – even those as talented as Steve Buscemi – never quite found their way out of a stream of non-lead roles until much later in their career. It’s definitely good news for her career, however!
