JOIN USIndian-origin British actor Dev Patel says that he is still best friends with his ex-girlfriend Freida Pinto though their relationship ended in 2014. The pair, who met on the sets of the Oscar-winning movie ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ split after six years together.
Dev, however, said that they are still close and he will always cherish memories of their relationship. “Oh, she's great. She's awesome. She has been one of the most impactful people in my life. We shared a very beautiful experience together ,not only cinematically but also personally, so I’ll always have great respect for her.” Currently Dev, 25, is enjoying the single life and is dividing his time between his new home in Los Angeles and his family in London.
“The most important women in my life are my mum and my older sister, Komal. They are brutally frank. They are the people who keep me grounded through any possible ego moments. I’m a ball of energy. If I’m not asleep, I’m taking everything in full speed” (sic).
Sometimes I need someone to say, ‘Bro, you need to take this seriously and focus’. I’m not really thinking about relationships or family or kids. I’m just a regular guy who spends weekends hanging out with the lads.” Dev added. “I don't go crazy and I am not very celebrity-minded. I am very grounded because, actually, acting is hard work. It’s early mornings on set and then plenty of concentration.”
