Though they have broken up for some time, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto have always maintained that they are good friends even after the split. Both are busy with their Hollywood careers and we are not sure that they even get time to interact with each other like before. But they only have have respect and kind words to say about each other, whenever they are prodded to reveal about their past relationship.
Now when Dev Patel became the first actor of proper Indian origin to get an Oscar nomination, Freida Pinto has not forgotten to wish her first co-star and later boyfriend on her Insta account. She wrote, ""So proud of you, Dev! A fine example of what hardwork, focus, humility and crazy amazing talent rewards one with .Long time coming, so well deserved! @lionmov @theacademy #Oscars2017 #OscarNominations2017 #bestactorinasupportingrole." That's quite a sweet gesture from her, which is something many of her colleagues should learn as well - it's okay to wish your ex on a public platform and be in good terms with him/her even after the split, instead of just living in the belief that that other person has ceased to exist. Dev Patel and Freida Pinto met and fell in love while shooting for the Oscar winning Slumdog Millionaire. They dated for a couple of years, before they decided to go their separate ways.
Dev Patel is having quite a ball of a time, garnering nominations for his role in the movie, Lion, the biggest being the Academy Award. Directed by Garth Davis, Lion is about an Indian guy, adopted by an couple, goes for a search of his biological family in India.
