Dev Patel wrecked our relationship, says Freida's fiance

London: Slumdog Millionaire actress Freida Pinto's fiance blames the movie, and co-star Dev Patel, for the end of his relationship with the actress.

"She is infatuated with Dev," jilted fiance Rohan Antoa says.
Jilted fiance Rohan Antao revealed that Pinto not only compelled him to stay mum about their engagement for the benefit of the movie, but also snubbed him to be with her on-screen lover.
The 24-year-old said his former love gave him the thumbs down in a phone call while she was promoting the film with her co-star, who is six years younger to her.
"She ended it with me after getting close to Dev Patel," News of the World quoted Rohan as saying. "Now everywhere I go, I see them on billboards. I am devastated.
"I hate the film. It wrecked my relationship. As soon as it became a success and she started spending all her time with Dev, she ended it," Antao said.
He continued: "She decided she didn't want to be with me anymore. She said she wanted us to be friends. But how can I be when she has destroyed my faith in love?
"She is infatuated with Dev. I don't know if they were having a sexual relationship, but if I came face to face with him I would have things to say.
"This is a very hard time for me, because as much as I don't want to let go, I have to.
"I wish her success in her career, but I can't watch the Oscars, and I don't want to watch the film -- it wrecked our love."

India at the Oscars over the years

Slumdog Millionaire has put India on the global map winning as many as 8 Oscars. Though not an Indian film, since it’s produced by a Hollywood studio, the entire film has been shot in India with an almost Indian cast. That makes India proud of the fact that the country has a lot to reach global frontiers. Slumdog, however, is not India’s first tryst with the Oscars. Many films and film personalities have made it to the Oscar list. All of these films have not necessarily been Indian films with some having an Indian setting and cast like Slumdog.
