"I like being able to ask Dev, 'What do you think of this?' He's very honest. He's not, 'You were wonderful darling.

' He'll be like, 'Hmmm. The film's not really about you but be happy that you made it," Pinto said.

The actress also wishes directors would see past her beauty and offer her more challenging movie roles. "I wish people would think outside the box when it comes to casting me.
