Photo Credit: WireimageFebruary 17, 2009, (Sawf News) - Fame has started to extract a toll from Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto as the young Indian star finds herself unwittingly embroiled in a controversy not of her making.
With fame comes close scrutiny which in Freida's case extends to the shade of her skin in photos published in Vanity Fair.
Pagesix reports that a furor is building over Freida's shots in the magazine that show her with a skin tone much lighter than hers.
Vanity Fair hasn't responded so far to calls inquiring if Freida had been photoshopped!
Meanwhile, the 24-year-old debutante actress is indulging her sense of style and credit card balance.
She picked up Alexander McQueen and Calvin Klein dresses to wear on Jay Leno's The Tonight Show from the refurbished Liberty showroom in London, which she inaugurated on Saturday, February 14.
She is also "in talks with British shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood to custom-make shoes" for her Oscar red-carpet walk on February 22, reports Pagesix.
Welcome to Hollywood, Freida!
