Grateful to parents

The actress invited her parents to come along for the screening of her new film, months before it hits Indian theatres. Freida, who turned 26 on October 18, admits that making her parents proud was the “best birthday gift” she could ask for.

“The special thing was that I had this amazing film to promote. I’m so glad it was something that I enjoyed doing and not something that I was forced to do. I spent the entire day doing that. I flew my family down to London so they could share this experience with me. It was really the most low-key but amazing birthday,” she said.

“They’ve done things for me their entire lives. I was just telling my mom and dad that this is the best birthday gift because it is because of them that I’m here. It's because of them that I’m doing this film. And this film explores the beautiful father-daughter relationship,” she said.
