The 25-year-old actress made the admission in the November issue of Britain's InStyle magazine, as she posed for a flirty and feminine photoshoot modelling the season's latest lacy looks.
'I keep playing the damsel in distress. But I'd like to kick some a**!' the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
Pinto shot to fame as the love interest in Slumdog Millionaire and can soon be seen playing a similarly feminine character in Woody Allen's upcoming romance You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger.
