Freida Pinto deserves HUGE APPLAUSE for feeding 800 hungry people from Oscars' excess food!

New Delhi: International fame came her way with 'Slumdog Millionaire' and Indian-origin actress Freida Pinto soon became a renowned name in Hollywood. Recently, she was seen at the Academy Awards 2017 but it was not just the red carpet shimmer that got her applause but the huge noble initiative she undertook at the same event.

Frieda took to Instagram and shared pictures of how much food from the Oscars' event was found in excess. But what she did with the leftover food is truly commendable. The actress took the excess Oscar food to feed as many as 800 hungry people.

Yes! That's exactly what you read. Her picture caption read: “So excited to be kicking off Oscar weekend with this fantastic initiative. This year #Copia and I team up with some of Oscar weekends biggest parties to recover excess food and deliver it to communities most in need in Los Angeles. #zerowaste #zerohunger Because this food is too good to be wasted. Thank you Women in Film for your incredible support ?@hellomikeamico

Another picture read: “When Awards Week gives back - food that would have otherwise been wasted has now been shared and connected with the LA LGBT ‍? Center , just 3.3 miles away from the Event in Los Angeles. Wastage isn't glamorous, feeding people is! #zerowaste#zerohunger #eatlikeastar @gocopia
