Say hello to Nargis Fakhri and Dev Patel, the newest BFFs in B’town. According to a report in a leading daily, the actors were spotted dining together at a posh eatery in South Mumbai.

Going by the pictures that have surfaced online, it looks like a broken-hearted Dev has found comfort in his new friend Nargis. Dev recently parted ways with his girlfriend Freida Pinto, after a committed relationship of six years.

Nargis on the other hand, was also rumoured to be in a two-year relationship with actor-producer Uday Chopra. Although neither of them openly admitted it, they never denied the reports either.

Reports state that an eyewitness at the eatery said the duo seemed to be very happy and comfortable in each other’s company. But don’t get your hopes up too high, a friend of the actress told the daily that they aren’t in a relationship, and Dev is in the country to begin working on his next film, a biopic on the mathematician Ramanujan.

Last year in March, Nargis and Dev’s former love Freida appeared on director Karan Johar’s chat show together.
