Freida Pinto has been avoiding questions about Dev Patel for very long now. However looks like all the ‘just friends’ excuses has gone a step ahead. She has now confirmed that her friendship with her Slumdog Millionaire co-star Dev Patel is “stronger” now. She has even calls Dev a “lovely boy”. The friendship blossomed after the film, it got even stronger. This is all new to us," she further added.

24 year old Freida and 19 year old Dev were spotted partying until wee hours of morning post Slumdog’s Oscar win at a nightclub in London. Reports of Dev flying to Israel to meet Freida and spending some romantic time together further confirmed speculations. And then the reports of the duo shopping for a ring were in the media too.

We advice Dev to take it a little easy, after all Freida has just broken an engagement with her longtime boyfriend. You never know another success and she may just turn her back on you too.
