Freida Pinto (born October 18, 1984) is an Indian actress and professional model, best known for her performance as Latika in her debut film Slumdog Millionaire, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2009. Pinto won a Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture and was nominated for the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

Freida Pinto was born in Mumbai to Sylvia Pinto, a principal of St. John’s Universal High School (Goregaon), and Frederick Pinto, a senior branch manager at the Bank of Baroda. Freida Pinto's father is from Neerude and mother from Derebail, both towns in Mangalore.^[1]. The name "Pinto" is of Portuguese origin, which is the result of the Portuguese influence in Mangalore.^[2]. Nevertheless, that does not imply that Freida Pinto has Portuguese ancestors. Her elder sister Sharon Pinto is an associate producer on the NDTV news channel. ^[3]

Pinto studied at Carmel of St. Joseph School in Malad and completed her Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in English Literature from St. Xavier's College, Mumbai.^[3][4] She currently resides in Malad, a suburb of Mumbai.^[5]
