Andy was very welcoming, saying he had just the role for me, that of Mowgli’s adopted mother, Messua. And the best part is that I get to play my part in Hindi in a big Hollywood film.” 

Freida Pinto’s “Zero Waste Zero Hunger, Eat like a star” Mantra!

India-born US-based star Freida Pinto says wastage of food is not at all glamorous, adding that instead of dumping leftovers one should give it to someone.

Taking forward this thought, Freida joined hands with a San Francisco-based food recovery technology company called Copia to ensure that no food was wasted at this years' Oscars party.

Copia is known for providing restaurants or party organizers with pick-up and delivery facilities, and also help them package and distribute leftover food. Freida, also known for her active participation in social initiatives like Girl Rising, is happy to do her bit for the society. 

"When Awards Week gives back - food that would have otherwise been wasted has now been shared and connected with the LA LGBT Center, just 3.3 miles away from the event in Los Angeles. Wastage isn't glamorous, feeding people is! Zero Waste Zero Hunger, Eat like a star," Freida wrote on Instagram last week. 

Freida also added, "The stories that feed our culture has now fed over 800 people. Sharing excess food to feed our community is a no-brainer. Thank you Film independent Spirit Awards Go Copia LA mission for making this happen!"

She also took the initiative to Oscars, which was held here on February 26. 

Freida wrote, "So excited to be kicking off Oscar weekend with this fantastic initiative. This year Copia and I team up with some of Oscar weekends biggest parties to recover excess food and deliver it to communities most in need in Los Angeles. Because this food is too good to be wasted." 

Ex-lover Freida Pinto’s sweet message for Dev Patel on Oscar nomination!

International star Dev Patel is flying high after he got nominated for the very prestigious Oscar Awards, for the movie Lion. Dev was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category and the young actor is excited about it. 

Dev released a statement telling, "Ok, so I just received a call to say that I've been nominated for an Academy Award. To be totally honest, the news hasn't made it's way into my brain yet, but I'm looking at these beautiful smiling faces around me... Faces of the ones I love. And I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude. What makes this moment so much more poignant is that I've just wrapped shooting another film in India. This enthralling country holds such a deep place in my heart, and it is where Saroo's journey was born. This film would be nothing without Garth Davis. Without his love, commitment and vision this "Lion" wouldn't have been able to roar. To that extent I want to share this incredible feeling with Luke, Grieg, Jenny Kent, Iain, Angie, Emile, Sunny, Nicole, David, Rooney, Divian, Priyanka, the Brierley family as well as the Weinstein Co team. Lion reaffirms the message that love is not dictated by the color of your skin, not by race, gender, sexuality, social status, or origin. It is a message I am proud to be spreading during these uncertain times. This will forever be one of the most memorable experiences of my life."

Dev's ex-girlfriend Freida took to Instagram to wish Dev on this success. She shared, "So proud of you, Dev! A fine example of what hardwork, focus, humility and crazy amazing talent rewards one with .Long time coming, so well deserved! @lionmov @theacademy #Oscars2017 #OscarNominations2017 #bestactorinasupportingrole."
