The adorable couple from the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, has split up - and this news was heartbreaking for all of their fans. The two met during the filming of the Oscar-winning movie back in 2008. So basically, they have been dating for 6 years before they decided to call it quits.
The break up news was confirmed by Us Weekly and they also revealed that the former lovers have ended their relationship for quite some time now. A source told the website, "Dev and Freida have broken up." The insider added, "They have been done for a while."
Based on reports, Freida Pinto and Dev Patel may have split up last October. The 30-year old actress celebrated her birthday without her boyfriend. Instead she was seen spending her special day with Sidhartha "Sid" Mallya, who is an aspiring actor and the grandson of a billionaire.
Could he be the reason for the Freida Pinto and Dev Patel split up? A source told the website, "Freida is single and happy." An insider revealed, "Friends are setting her up." Maybe her friends were responsible for her date with the 27-year old Indian heartthrob during her birthday.
Sid Mallya posted a photo of himself with a mysterious girl on Instagram. There are rumors that it was Freida Pinto, but the actor declined to reveal who he was with. One fan, though, claims that the girl is Ayesha Grover. He captioned the photo "It's not the opportunities that matter...it's who u get to share them with... #greatweekend"
Many people are wondering what went wrong in the relationship of Freida and Dev because they were very in love and even call each other soul mates. During an interview with columnist Michael Martin, the actress admitted they were still dating. She said, "Yes . . . I find it very hard to say yes or no quite openly, because people are never satisfied."
Pinto explained, "One day they write us off as saying we're not together and the next day we're together and getting married. It's so bizarre and stupid. I don't want to feed stupidity with more stupidity. I just let it be." Maybe that's why she remained quiet about their break up because it's something that she doesn't want people talking about.
