Actress Freida Pinto celebrates her 35th birthday today and as cliched as it may sound but we are already grooving on the 'Jai Ho' song.  Freida's ticket to Hollywood was Danny Boyle's, Slumdog Millionaire, an Oscar nominee movie that even introduced us to the charming boy and fabulous actor that Dev Patel is. As a newcomer, it would be a nightmare for any girl or an actress out there to step on the red carpet of the Academy Awards but Freida managed it with a big broad smile on her face. Freida Pinto Makes SENSATIONAL Statements About Why the #MeToo Movement Might Never Be Supported in Bollywood.

It was in 2009 was she sashayed on the red carpet in a blue John Galliano gown that we think was designed keeping her in mind. She looked gorgeous then and she continues to win our hearts with her impeccable choices even today. She had a rather distinctive taste in fashion and styling her can get tricky at times. Though simple, her outfits tend to have an ability to stand out from the crowd of fashionistas and she does a fab job in nailing it on most of the occasions. On the eve of her special day, we decide to rewind the time and pick some of her best sartorial moments from the recent past.

So join us in ogling at her pictures and you can always thank us later.

For the ones who don't know, Nushrat Bharucha had auditioned for Freida's role in Slumdog Millionaire. But Pinto was always destined to be a part of Boyle's directorial and bag a chance to attend Oscars in her first-ever attempt. She's a shining example of how talent can take you places and we hope and pray for her to have an eventful year ahead. Lastly, happy birthday, Freida and never ever stop flashing your 'million'-dollar smile.
