Freida Pinto proud of Dev Patel's success

Actress Frieda Pinto says she is happy for her ex-boyfriend Dev Patel's success in Hollywood.

The 32-year-old actress and her Slumdog Millionaire co-star ended their seven-year relationship in 2014 but have remained friends, reported Contactmusic.


"At the end of the day he's a fellow actor and my friend.

I've seen the hard work he's put in, and seeing it pay off (by winning the BAFTA) is the most beautiful thing.

"How could I not feel proud? He was fantastic in that film (Lion)," Freida says.

The actress says she has learnt a lot from their relationship.

"People come and go and everyone teaches you something.

"You need to embrace the good and bad, the ugly and beautiful.

"I'm not a love guru. I don't have any tips on how to keep a break-up friendly. Just be open and honest.

"When you're in a relationship, you're in a relationship.

"You're in it because you love the person. Things like age and wealth, none of it matters. You make it work, that's it," she says.

At the Red Sea Film Festival, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan went back to her Miss World 1994 moment. She spoke plainly about how that win still follows her, even in rooms like this one, where she is often asked again about India and what it meant to represent it at 21. The session also touched on how she faced “less informed” questions about the country at the time, a reminder of the gap between India’s reality and the world’s dated ideas.
