Frieda,Dev have no plans yet

Slumdog's Dev admits he and Freida laugh at engagement rumours.

Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel admits that he and lover Freida Pinto laugh at engagement rumours.

The pair started dating after starring together in Danny Boyle’s Oscar-winning film in 2008 but Patel admits they have no intention of tying the knot yet,Contactmusic reported.

“We always laugh about these things. The last rumours I heard was that me and Frieda were looking for a wedding cake in Los Angeles. Then we were going to fly it down to India to have our wedding there,” Patel said.

However,the 20-year-old actor insists that his mother Anita at times believe these false rumours and constantly calls him to check if the marriage reports are correct. “It is weird now because every day when I am filming I get a call from mum,and she says,’So I hear you are getting engaged now?’,” Patel said.

He also insists that the couple secretly dated in the beginning,in case people thought it was merely a publicity stunt.

“The talk was all about the film at that time and we weren’t going to come out as some kind of product. We weren’t doing it for marketing. If we could we would probably have kept it totally under wraps. But there comes a point when you get more attention from the,’Are they aren’t they?’ debate.

So we figured,’That’s alright,everyone knows now’. Once we did come out the attention died down and that is great,” Patel said.
