I look for strong female characters in films: Freida Pinto

Be it 'Slumdog Millionaire', 'Miral' or her upcoming film 'Trishna', all the films have seen her playing such characters.

"A strong female character is the most important thing that I look for in my films. Hence the bottom line is that every character I play needs to have a strong undertone," Frieda said.

She did pick up a film in which she couldn't get the same satisfaction that she drew from her earlier films.

"I'm not going to mention the film's name and I'm glad that most of the people didn't see it. In the film, I did a role where I could not feel the strength of my character and it showed in my performance. Since then, I haven't repeated that thing," she added.

Freida, who gained global recognition after Oscar-winning 'Slumdog Millionaire', minces no words to declare the hype around objectification of women in Bollywood a hypocrisy.

"I have a problem with women being objectified on-screen. But I feel it's also unfair that we only talk about women objectification as if it's perfectly okay for men to be objectified," said the actress while she was in Delhi to unveil the Girls Rising campaign in India.

"I feel there is a little bit of hypocrisy over there," Freida added.
