Freida Pinto wants to undergo DNA test to prove she is Indian

[Bombay Dude]

Freida Pinto, the Slumdog Millionaire actor, has said she is willing to take a DNA test to prove that she is Indian.

Pinto, who was born in Mumbai, says she is constantly mistaken for other ethnicities when travelling abroad.

"The Portuguese people love to claim me as one of their own, and I don't like that," she told the Interview magazine.

"I also came from Mangalore, which is in the southern part of India, where you have a big Catholic population. Some of them were forced conversions by the British and Portuguese. So I may not necessarily have that kind of lineage. I could pretty much be a Hindu from India... I'm going to do the DNA testing because I''m very curious."

Pinto on Sunday attended the annual Comic-Con fan convention in San Diego, where she was promoting her new film 'Immortals' with Superman actor Henry Cavill.

Meanwhile Welsh actor Rhys Ifans, who portrays the villain Lizard in the upcoming Spider-Man film, was arrested and cited for battery
