How Dev Patel, Freida Pinto keep their long-distance relationship going

Slumdog Millionaire co-stars, Dev Patel and Freida Pinto, come up with innovative ideas to keep their love-life alive because of their long-distance relationship.

The couple has been seeing each other since filming Danny Boyle's 2008 Oscar-winning blockbuster, which saw their characters battling to be together.

London-based Patel said maintaining a relationship with the 25-year-old actress, who lives in the city of Mumbai, means they both have to make an effort.

"We're never at home," the Daily Express quoted the 21-year-old as telling Radio Times.

"But we do manage to meet. We always find time for each other," he said.

And when they're in London?

"We always get a different place. Rent out a flat or something and spend time together that way," he added.
