Is Freida Pinto a Hollywood or Bollywood actress?

I know she’s Indian but she was in Slumdog Millionaire which is a Hollywood film? Then people say she works for Hollywood I’m confused?

she’s an Indian who was the lead actress in Slumdog Millionaire……….that’s the first time i saw her…..she hasn’t done any bollywood film yet….she’s doing several other films in hollywood ………….so,that’s why she’s called a hollywood star!

    She can be both, it depends on her future career choices. Frieda has never done a Bollywood film but she’s a big star in India, so she could do Bollywood films if she wants to. Right now she’s Hollywood because she is not working on any Bollywood films.

    It’s a great question. A lot of American reporters inaccurately call her a Bollywood actress because she’s Indian. She is NOT a Bollywood actress. She has never worked in Bollywood. Slumdog Millionaire was a British film that was distributed by a Hollywood studio. She has been cast in two upcoming Hollywood movies. So that makes her a Hollywood actress.

    Just for the record, Bollywood refers to the Hindi-language film industry based in Mumbai (formerly called Bombay). Bollywood is only one of many film industries in India. Just because an actor is an Indian or a film is Indian doesn’t mean it’s Bollywood.
