<p>Actress Freida Pinto, who has been seen in movies like ‘Slumdog Millionaire’, ‘Immortals’ and ‘Rise of the Planet of the Apes’, was in the news recently for splitting up with her longtime boyfriend — ‘Slumdog...’ co-star Dev Patel. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The star, who has been busy with various international projects and endorsements, recently opened up about her split from the actor, who was recently seen in ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ and appreciated for his role in it.<br /><br />The actress said that they remain the best of friends even after the break-up. Pinto, 30, and Patel, 24, started dating while working on the Oscar-winning film ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ in 2008. <br /><br />The couple, rose to fame overnight, created waves all over the world not only for their performances in the Danny Boyle-directed film, but also their relationship with each other. The two, however, ended their six-year-old relationship in December last year.<br /><br />“Everybody has their own little discoveries to make. Their own surprises, their own disappointments, and they are all part and parcel of life. There is no way one person can sit down and go, ‘But why did this happen to me?’ Or, ‘It was all going well, what the hell happened?’ Or, ‘No, this just can’t be,’ the denial of it,” Pinto said. <br /><br />The actress, who is yet to appear in an Indian-made film, is slowly making her mark on Hollywood. <br /><br />Speaking up about her breakup, she said, “Running away from it is not going to help you find your answers. So we are facing it. And we are dealing with it. Dev and I are best friends. That is never going to change.” <br /><br />The split seems to be amicable as Patel also spoke highly of his ex, calling her a “wonderful human” and “one of the most impactful people” on his life. The two have taken the split relatively well and have been composed throughout the whole ordeal.</p>
