But very soon the entry itself may be blocked due to the ethnicity! :(

 [h=3]Today, roles not restricted to ethnicity: Freida Pinto[/h] New Delhi, April 15 (IANS) Gone are the days when actors from different nationalities were restricted to playing roles based on their ethnicity, feels US-based Indian actress Freida Pinto. The 31-year-old, who started her career in films with "Slumdog Millionaire" in 2008, says it will be "weird" if actors only get to play roles belonging to their nationalities. "Actors - depending on what ethnicity he/she belongs to - want to enter the film world saying that they only want to play that ethnicity in their entire career gets a little weird because that will be very limiting in many ways," Freida, who starred in the short film "Black Knight Decoded" for Pepsi, told IANS.
