Dev Patel has no plans to marry Freida Pinto

Dev Patel has said that he is too young to settle down and has no plans to marry his 'Slumdog Millionaire' co-star Freida Pinto.

The 21-year-old actor has been dating the beauty since they met on the set of Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning 2008 film.

They have been dogged by marriage rumours ever since, prompting Patel to deny reports in 2010 that they were engaged, and now he's opened up to reveal he still has no plans to take their romance to the next level.

"No, we are not engaged," the Daily Express quoted Patel as telling chat show host Graham Norton.

"I am 21! There are so many rumours about us but no, we are just working hard," he said.
