Actress Freida Pinto admits she is happy that she faced so many rejections before finding fame as it helped shape her career.

The Mumbai-born actress auditioned for hundreds of roles before achieving fame in the 2008 Oscar-winning movie "Slumdog Millionaire" but insists her bad experiences made her the person she is today.

"I'm glad things happened the way they happened. I needed to be rejected, and I needed to learn that it's part of the game. I said, 'It's okay. I can have 100 rejections, but I'm sure there's going to be one particular thing that is almost destined for me to have, and I am going to have it', " femalefirst.co.uk quoted her as telling a magazine.

"I used to go for these crazy auditions and they'd have the most stupid, silly scripts. My heart was never in it. I would go and try to do what I could, and then a short list would come out.

"Every day I was on the short list I would have a bad day - I'd be very moody and on edge. At the same time, I thought, 'What would happen if I made it to the final list? Maybe that would be my ticket'. But deep down in my heart I always had doubts, and I think when you have doubts, you just say no, " she added.
