Freida Pinto and Dev Patel practice their Hebrew in Tel Aviv.

Maybe it has something to do with the spring being the time for lovers, but more likely, it’s just that Tel Aviv is one damn sexy city. But ‘Slumdog Millionaire” stars Freida Pinto and Dev Patel were spotted kissing and cuddling at an intimate lunch this week. Anyone recognize the locale?

The 24-year-old former model Pinto and Patel first met on the set of the smash film and have until now denied that they were romantically involved. Recent statements reported by tabloids which I religiously read had Pinto saying “I won’t talk about my relationship with Dev”, and Patel adding, “She is very beautiful but there’s no romance.”

Patel has been in Israel for the last few weeks filming her upcoming movie by Julian Schnabel entitled “Miral”. The 18-year-old Patel reportedly flew to Israel in order to meet Pinto on the set. The two played on-screen lovers in the film, and now it looks like life is imitating art.

“She couldn’t help cuddling up to him. They kept staring into each other’s eyes,” a source said about the couple. The exact date of the incident has yet to be known though.

“They were certainly acting like a couple, especially when she put her head on his shoulder,” the gossip Bible site Celebritymania.com reported a witness saying. “The only time they split up was when they left the bar and tried to act like they weren’t together.”

Hopefully, Pinto will still have time to shoot the film – based on a screenplay was adapted by Schnabel (“The Diving Bell and the Butterfly”) from a book by Palestinian-Italian writer Rula Jebreal, who collaborated on the script. It focuses on the interwoven lives of a few Israeli and Palestinian women, from the early years of the state through the early 1990s. The film costars Hiam Abbass (“Lemon Tree”), a Palestinian actress who lives in France.

Any other sightings of Pinto in Israel? Keep up informed!
