I have tremendous respect for Freid Pinto: Tena Desae

Tena Desae was last seen in the recently released The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel oposite British actor of Indian origin Dev Patel. While she shares a great equation with Dev, Tena also is in awe of his ex-girlfriend Freida Pinto. In the past, the actress had been misquoted when she spoke about her equation with Freida so now she is very skeptical when it comes to talking about it. "I haven't really got the chance to have an indepth chat with Freida because most of the times, that I have met her, its always been at social events where nothing more than a quick chat is possible. Having said that, I have tremendous respect for her. She was the one who opened the doors for all of us and that is incredible. Also, the kind of people she is associated with and the work that she is doing is phenomenol," she shares.
