Purpose, Power & The Stories We Tell – A Conversation with Freida Pinto
In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Nigma sits down with actress, activist, and producer Freida Pinto for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, motherhood, representation, and global storytelling.
Known for her breakout role in Slumdog Millionaire and her continued work on- and off-screen, Freida opens up about how becoming a mother changed her relationship with herself, how she chooses meaningful roles, and why she’s fiercely committed to shifting narratives for women around the world.
They discuss the intersection of health and purpose, how storytelling can be a tool for liberation, and the powerful lessons Freida has learned from her advocacy work, including with Girl Rising.
This episode is a celebration of transformation, cultural identity, and what it means to live in integrity with your purpose.
