The 30-year-old Indian actress graced the stage to speak with fellow actor Chiwetel Ejiofor, director Richard Curtis and Bartle Bogle Hegarty founder Sir John Hegarty.

Bringing her own impressive talents to the International Festival of Creativity, Freida was pride of place on the all-star panel for the #WEHAVEAPLAN 7 Billion People, 7 Days discussion.
Freida is the star of Slumdog Millionaire and this year raises her profile with a part in the live action production of Jungle Book: Origins alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett.
The exquisite actress recently delivered a candid interview in which she discussed being recognised in the entertainment industry as a beautiful woman.
Speaking to The Edit magazine, Freida explained: 'It's not necessarily the way I see myself. In fact, I don't even like to look at myself in the mirror.

'But I'm aware of the perception and I always say that if it's because of that one line in Slumdog where Latika is described as "the most beautiful girl in the world", then I have to do everything I can to change the perception.'
Freida was certainly looking beautiful on Wednesday in summer-ready coral, offsetting a high leg split skirt with a deep red lipstick.
