Freida Pinto first stole our hearts in her breakout role in the iconic film Slumdog Millionaire, and now she's back — dancing once again — in her latest film Desert Dancer. The film, based on real-life events, revolves around a group of dancers who risk their lives by illegally starting a secret dance company, fighting for self-expression.


The talented and stunning actress stopped by BuzzFeed NY to chat about her experience shooting the film, and answered some burning questions from the BuzzFeed Community. Here's what went down.


Freida Pinto: No! It is the opposite of getting someone prepared for Desert Dancer. (laughs) It took about a year to learn, to get trained and to pick up the choreography. The Desert Dancer dances were learned about three, three and half months before filming, but up until that time was all prep and training. Slumdog Millionaire was a night of learning and three nights of dancing. And it was, uh, crazy to say the least. We were really bad. (laughs)
