[@justinsullivan5839]

She is so stunning

[@niceness47]

Go bruins! Nice profile pic!!!

[@vic5015]

She is.

[@deanroddey2881]

Almost inexplicably so. I mean there's a lot of secret genetic research going on out there, and they did manage to keep the Stealth Fighter secret for an awfully long time, so who knows...

[@BxJerseyShorefan]

Simp

[@gew12]

Yes

[@rexlongfellow]

Imagine being the actresses who got rejected after a six month audition damn...

[@monmothma3358]

Yeah, do they even get anything to show for that? Like, do they get paid at all? I guess some get other, more secondary roles in the movie...

[@GD-cr5um]

She's not an actress as such. She got no background in acting just came in a movie that bagged Oscars and got attention

[@Jobe-13]

Things like this remind me of all the good things that exist in this age and makes me glad I was born in the right time to see them.

[@JupGem]

Loved this little interview! She’s so lovely!

[@NIKONGUY1960]

She is simply divine.

[@johnaristotle3736]

What a beauty.

[@dstroh22]

good lord she has a beautiful smile

[@ramonapiercesalvatore5917]

One hell of a movie. So fucking good.

[@JimmyRingz]

She's a great actor, loved her performance in Slumdog Millionaire. And absolutely gorgeous female. Incredibly beautiful.😍

[@GD-cr5um]

SHE diidnt do acting the main guy was Irrfan Khan but overall the movie was crap

[@rmoon01]

Thank you for the close ups.

[@TheLeatheryman]

My god I could look at her all day

[@ArnoldsKtm]

She's gorgeous

[@JohnSmith-wi4xo]

It’s strange to me that her audition process was six months. I know she’s the female lead but she’s actually barely in the film and doesn’t do much acting-wise. Beautiful woman though.

[@Poodle_Gun]

The director was probably sleeping with the other women, and knew it was Frida that would get the role. He was probably too shy to proposition Frida, though. She's a whole other level of hot.

[@lordpickle8424]

She's mucho taco, one of the most beautiful woman on earth. Tons of East Indians here in Vancouver and I love the way the women sound when they pronounce an english word that has an 'a' in it, the way they draw it out sounds nice. "Laaaaage double double".

[@damaniqphillip2756]

Wow

[@clownworld-honk410]

Proper beautiful. I imagine Danny Boyle knew she would have the role from the 1st moment he clapped eyes on her. The 6 months auditioning was to give her more acting experience.

[@echolot]

how has she not been a bond girl yet?

[@hasselett]

Way to belittle a career!

[@CodcThe2nd]

Not everyone seeks this kind of objectification?

[@Poodle_Gun]

My guess is that her acting opportunities were kind of blocked by the slightly above average Hollywood actresses who saw her as a threat. That's usually what happens.

[@sma1616]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@TheMajorNerd]

I know you’re reading this..... I hope you’re having a great day.

[@areyoufriendly]

Thanks, you too!

[@tyknight1858]

You too sir or ma'm

[@sanjayrajpal2808]

[@loveanimals-0197]

Her accent changes every few years.

[@shireensaroea946]

every few years all our cells are replaced.....

[@jessica4597]

Cut her some slack, she was born and raised in India but works primarily in Hollywood. What her accent sounds like shouldn't be an issue.

[@sagarnaidu7348]

its only your prejudice that changes.

[@GD-cr5um]

When u got no talent u have to fake it. She's changed her accent depending on the man she dates

[@cappyjones]

​@@GD-cr5um She hurt you, didn't she?

[@mrchopsticks3]

I've always found Indian women either not attractive or drop dead gorgeous, there's no in-between.

[@gravemind3590]

Same with Mexican girls.

[@leono7380]

Arrogant.

[@elizabethwinsor-strumpetqueen]

In my country we call women who look like this "Swamp Donkeys" yes in Scotland we have the likes of Susan Boyle (Danny's sister) and Nicola Sturgeon ...who can compete with that line up ??!!

[@MrPickles1987]

@jigyoda It's unfortunate these types come out of the woodwork to hate on others for no discernible reason. One word with no explanation or take on why they feel that way...what a potshot. And Elizabeth what exactly are you going on about? Casually dropping a pejorative sexist insult coming from someone named Elizabeth. Staggering levels of irony going on here. I can feel the jealousy, ignorance, and misunderstanding coming from the original comment and Elizabeth.
