- This happened during the filming of Trishna (2011) where she had to stab him during a scene
- Somewhere during the dramatic scene, her prop knife got switched out and they handed her a real knife
- She actually did make contact with his skin near his ribcage
- Got freaked out because she thought she really did wound him with all of the fake blood around and started to cry, and Riz had to calm her down and show that he was still alive
- The producers had a discussion later and decided that if Riz really did die, the actor (Freida Pinto in this instance) would be at fault, and not the prop person
- Talks about 70s fashion and her new TV mini-series, Guerrilla, which also stars Idris Elba
