The UK based star Dev Patel is in need for a diction training in Indian English, as he is more used to with this British accent. Helping Dev Patel with his Indian English training is none other than his girlfriend Frieda Pinto. Reprotedly, she visited the star on the sets and was helping him with the diction. A source revealed, “Freida and Dev gelled well on the sets. She was trying to make him speak English with Indian accent."

“I had a 20-day session with him in Jaipur. He"s a focussed actor and grasps lessons quickly. Freida also came to the sets a few times. She"s a nice girl," says Vidhur Chaturvedi.
