Freida breaks off engagement?

Nothing talks like success. Ask Freida Pinto who shot to fame after playing Latika in the award-winning film, Slumdog Millionaire . No longer is Freida the girl next door who lived a simple life prior to the film’s release. After receiving rave reviews for her performance, Freida’s future only looks brighter.

Consequently, her newfound success has changed many things in her life. And that includes her relationship status. According to an industry insider, Freida recently broke up with her Bangalore-based fiancé. “Success is what prompted the actress to cut off all past ties that could pose as a barrier between her and the dizzying heights of fame post Slumdog Millionaire. She now knows that bigger things are in store for her. She was engaged to someone from Bangalore and all was well until Slumdog Millionaire released and everyone applauded the film. It went on to win four Golden Globe awards. Evidently, Freida didn’t want to get caught up in the regular routine life just when her career was taking off. So, she decided to call off the engagement and instead concentrate on her career,” said the source.

Freida nominated for a BAFTA!

First of all I’d like to congratulate Freida for receiving a BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Latika in Slumdog Millionaire! I can’t imagine the happiness Freida must feel for being honored – and for her very first movie!

Slumdog Millionaire received a total of eleven nominations; including best film, best British film, best director (Danny Boyle) and best actor (Dev Patel). The other movie to receive as many nominations as Slumdog was David Fincher/Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
