<p>"Women are not treated like dolls in Bollywood," Freida said addressing a press conference on the sidelines of the 41st International Film Festival of India (IFFI), where her film "You Will Meet a Tall, Dark Stranger" directed by Woody Allen, is being screened. <br /><br />Freida also accused the media of sensationalising her comments on Bollywood. "I never said I don't want to be in Bollywood... Bollywood is like a big celebration. It is wrong to say Bollywood treats women like dolls," Freida said, when a reporter asked her to clarify her statement to the media earlier, where she had allegedly said she wanted to avoid roles in masala movies and Bollywood films per se. <br /><br />"The media picks and chooses what people say. There are slots in newspaper which they need to fill with sensation. You put people like us in a tough position," said Pinto. <br /><br />Claiming that "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge" and "Sholay" remained her favourite films, Pinto said she was certainly game for a Bollywood role if one came by and if it was good enough. <br /><br />She also chided the media for equating Bollywood to Indian cinema. "Bollywood is a part of Indian cinema. There are other alternative cinemas in India too," Freida said.<br /><br />She has also had enough of big budget films - "Slumdog Millionaire" and the Woody Allen venture - for the moment and now wants to do "realistic cinema" for a change. <br /><br />"A film has to satisfy you. I don't want to do that kind of a film again right now. After two big budget films, I am looking at doing more realistic cinema," Freida said.<br /><br />She said names in cinema like Stephen Spielberg were not a big draw for her and that she would love to work even with debutants who were making films on interesting subjects. <br /><br /></p>
