Freida's Ex-BoyFriend Blames Slumdog for their Breakup
Sunday Express | Showbiz :: Pinto's ex-fiance blames Slumdog for break-upRohan Antao proposed to Pinto just days after she won the role of Latika in the Oscar-nominated film.
But he alleges movie bosses insisted Pinto keep the engagement under wraps - to emphasise her on-screen relationship with Patel's character Jamal.
Antao insists the close friendship between the two stars led to his split with Pinto last month (Jan09).
And now he is refusing to watch the Academy Awards ceremony on Sunday (22Feb09), where the Mumbai-based film is nominated in several top categories.
He tells the News of the World, "The film bosses didn't want her to be engaged. It would affect the whole emphasis of the film, the love story. I had no say in it.
"I didn't go with her (on promotional tours). I had my own work to do and and we weren't supposed to be seen together. She told me it was a requirement, so I had to get on with it.
"I asked Freida to spend less time with Dev, but she refused. She was comfortable with him and we were talking over the phone less and less. I was ticked off with Dev - and her.
"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... Now everywhere I go I see them on billboards. I am devastated.
"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."

Dumpdog Millionaire | Slumdog Millionaire movie beauty Freida Pinto splits with fiance | Showbiz | News Of The World
SLUMDOG Millionaire beauty Freida Pinto has DITCHED her fiancé because of her new-found fame, we can exclusively reveal.
Stunning Freida, 24, told gutted Mumbai PR agent Rohan Antao she could not be with him and be a world-renowned actress at the same time.
She had kept Rohan—her sweetheart from university—a secret from the media during her meteoric rise to stardom.
He has gone to ground since she told him it was over but pals say he is “devastated” at losing the girl he thought he was marrying.
One close friend said: “It’s been a terrible time for him. One minute they were getting married, the next it was all over.”
The couple met at St Xavier’s College, Mumbai, where Freida studied English and Rohan chemistry. The pal said: “They were really into each other.”
Rohan then became boss of a small PR firm, and last year proposed while Freida was filming the Oscar-nominated movie with British director Danny Boyle.
She posted photos of her engagement party on her Facebook web page but they have now been taken down.
For the last two months Freida has been promoting Slumdog around the UK and USA—putting a strain on her relationship. The pal said: “Freida realised she had been presented with an incredible opportunity but would not be able to make the most of it if she was tied down. She knew that she had to put acting first from now on.
“She and Rohan talked on the phone about finding a way to make it work—but her circumstances had changed so much they knew it wasn’t to be.”

Freida Pinto thanks city at Toronto Film Festival for early praise
TheRecord.com - Entertainment_Wire - Freida Pinto thanks Toronto film fest for early 'Slumdog Millionaire' praise
TORONTO - Freida Pinto was thrilled Friday to be back in the city where her acclaimed movie "Slumdog Millionaire" first took flight, noting audiences at the Toronto International Film Festival were among the first to praise the rags-to-riches saga.
"I'm very excited to be here," the Mumbai-raised model-turned-actress, who made her film debut as the love interest in the drama that's been nominated for 10 Oscars, said at a gala for the South Asian lifestyles magazine Anokhi.
"In a strange way it's like my little gift back to the city because this is where it all started. This is where we had a first fan following, where we had the first standing ovation given to us by the press," said Pinto, 24, referring to the People's Choice Award the film won at the Toronto festival last September.
"I think in a strange way if this city hadn't started it all for us, it could have been a bit more difficult."
