"Freida Pinto has revealed that she doesn&amp;#039;t want to limit her career by continuously taking on similar roles. The actress first gained fame in the Oscar-winning hit Slumdog Millionaire and has since gone on to appear in the blockbuster Immortals and smaller-scale films like Woody Allen&amp;#039;s You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger. Pinto explained that it&amp;#039;s important to continue challenging herself by playing a wide variety of characters. &amp;quot;There is only so much you can do in the span of your career. Sticking to one genre would limit myself in terms of what I can do and possibly deliver,&amp;quot; she told Parade. Pinto continued: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t want to just dabble in things that stereotype me in any way or stop me from getting those versatile roles. I want to do everything from independent cinema to big-budget films.  &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s the beauty of the profession, every day is a new job interview. I just want to enjoy the whole extent of it.&amp;quot;  Pinto went on to single out Javier Bardem as one of her acting role models. &amp;quot;Being an Asian Indian actress, people always expect me to name another one. I don&amp;#039;t have to think that way anymore because the world is smaller and we live in a very cosmopolitan time,&amp;quot; the star said.  &amp;quot;To me, I would name a male actor. The kind of career path Javier Bardem has chosen is inspiring.&amp;quot; The actress has also pointed to Charlize Theron as an inspiration. Pinto recently denied that she and boyfriend Dev Patel are engaged to be married. Immortals is now playing in US and UK cinemas. &amp;gt; Freida Pinto: &amp;#039;No-one understands me like Dev Patel&amp;#039; &amp;gt; Freida Pinto: &amp;#039;I get cast for my acting&amp;#039; Watch the Immortals trailer below: Video: Exclusive Trailer: Immortals "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
