They’re so cute together…

From Contactmusic.com:

DEV PATEL has branded his SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE co-star FREIDA PINTO his “soulmate” for helping him come to terms with his newfound celebrity.

The 18-year-old’s part in the hit film - his very first movie role - has catapulted him to international fame, garnering him critical acclaim and a number of industry awards and nominations.
And Patel has credited ex-model Pinto with helping him survive the whirlwind media attention.
He says, “We’re soulmates because we’re both in this surreal situation. She is very beautiful… I haven’t got a girlfriend but Freida, my co-star, is gorgeous.”

But the teen is keen to deny speculation the pair has sparked an off-screen relationship: “There’s no romance. I’ve never had a girlfriend. I’ve always been focused on acting. But for now I’m having the time of my life.”

Um, close enough!

Slumdog Millionaire snagged four Golden Globes this past Sunday for — Best Director, Best Motion Picture, Best Original Score and Best Screenplay, well deserved!

I watched this film for the first time the other day and it was pretty darn amazing and a breath of fresh air!

Summary:

The story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?” But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost.
