From the slums of Mumbai to the sandy terrain of Afghanistan, Freida Pinto is on the ride of her life as she signed the multi-million pound deal with Sam Mendes becoming the next Bond girl! As the “dream Bond girl”, Pinto was initially quite nervous about accepting the role in the “most ambitious 007 yet”, but with the help of her Slumdog Millionaire co-star and boyfriend, Dev Patel, she got the right push to accept the role. Apparently Dev is really excited, and according the Daily Mirror a source stated, “Dev has been joking to friends he is cool with seeing Freida rolling around with 007.” Oh my, what a cool boyfriend!

Although there are not many details of the movie out just yet, Daniel Craig, will once again play the role of Bond, who will be faced with a double-crossing UN worker, played by Olivia Wilde, but all the while with the gorgeous Freida Pinto in his arms as his new Bond girl! Can’t wait to see the trailers! —MUNIA ISLAM
