SELF: How did they deal?! (Coping w/Transitions)

Let’s also remember the new girl on the block this year! Freida Pinto, the stunning beauty from Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, burst onto the scene not afraid to talk about her SELF and how her transition to Hollywood royalty has affected her sense of self. Freida became a hot commodity to follow and talk to after the giant success of the Oscar flik. Freida talked a lot about her personal and demographic characteristics. She discussed her upbringing in Mumbai, India and the difficulties she faced growing up as a young female in a poor area. Freida discussed a lot of the factors in her life that made the transition to becoming a celebrity hard, like the experiences she had in India and how different life as a young woman in America is. Freida recounted that her ability to cope with her newfound life in Hollywood and celebrity status has a lot to do with her psychological resources, like her outlook on life and her values which are very much guided by her religious upbringing. Freida constantly attributes her successes to making this big change to living in Hollywood to her commitment to her faith, family, and ability to do good in honor of those she left behind in India. What a woman!
