Freida Pinto and Dev Patel lit up the screen as fated lovers in last year's Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire and now Patel's mother has confirmed that the two young actors are also a romantic couple off screen.

How did they do it?

a) They're lucky
b) They're pretending
c) It is destiny...

After much speculation about the nature of the relationship involving Slumdog Millionaire stars Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, Patel's mother Anita has confirmed to a British newspaper that the pair are very much a couple.

"First it was the film and now everything else seems to have slotted into place," Mrs. Patel is quoted as saying in Monday's Daily Mirror.

"Life can't get any better for him. Freida is really beautiful, and I am really happy for them."
