A party with a cause

Slumdog Millionaire’ star Freida Pinto recently hosted a special pre-Oscar party, where she promoted the issue of girl child education.

This was part of the week-long celebration leading up to the Academy Awards, by a popular magazine, which is one of the most attended and sought-after celebratory events and the 28-year-old beauty is the first actress of Indian origin to host the event. “When (the magazine) approached Freida to co-host the pre-Oscar party with them, she was more than happy to align with them and bring more attention to the initiative. She has always felt committed to this cause and wouldn’t miss out on this opportunity,” her spokesperson says in a statement.
