The latest is that Slumdog girl Frieda Pindo is likely to be the new face of Estee Lauder. She is currently in talks over a $280,000 or 200,000 pound-deal.

If she nets the deal, she will be first Indian to endorse Estee Lauder.

Freida Pinto’s spokesperson has refused to comment on the deal, though, saying that Estee Lauder has yet to make a statement.

Ever since the dazzling success of Slumdog Millionaire, Freida Pinto has become the darling of Hollywood.
