Bollywood Digg

She admits she's still getting to grips with fame, but Freida Pinto looked like a seasoned A-lister at Milan Fashion Week today.
The Slumdog Millionaire actress, who confesses she gets starstruck despite now being a celebrity in her own right, did well to hide her awe as she mingled with the likes of Kate Hudson and Claudia Schiffer at the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk show.
She cut a calm, not to mention glamorous figure as she posed for photographers in a cream tunic trimmed with embellishment and a statement belt.

Freida Pinto has leapt off Bombay's local trains and into Hollywood's limousines. At this time last year, Freida was probably one of a million girls scrambling onto the woefully crowded Malad local train. Considering that she had landed some modelling jobs and had hosted a travel show, she'd have jostled with the first-class bunch which, as every commuter in Bombay knows, can be far more vicious than any second class dibba gang.


Who knows, our Freida must have occasionally been battered with laptops and prodded with tweezers if she'd dared to hog the coveted gangway space next to the door. In the evenings, she'd have been sharing a frappe with Rohan Antao, her boyfriend (oops, husband?) at the local coffee shop and perhaps spending love struck weekends with him at a cottage on Manori island. She would have been hanging out with the friends she has known since her days as an English Literature student at St Xavier's College and practising her expressions in the mirror in the bathroom of the flat she shared with her Mangalorean parents and sister.

Slumdog Millionaire star Freida Pinto's fiance has the movie, and film's star Dev Patel, to blame for putting an end to his relationship with the actress.

Dumped 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 onscreen lover.

The 24-year-old further said that his former love gave him the thumbs down in a phone call while she was promoting the film with her 6-year-junior co-star.

"She ended it with me after getting close to Dev Patel. Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated," News of the World quoted Rohan as saying.

"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," he added.

Rohan continued: "She decided she didn't want to be with me any more. 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." (ANI)
