An onlooker said They looked very happy together and they didn't seem to care who saw them.Dev couldn't take his eyes off her and she kept snuggling up to get closer to him.Dev and Freida played childhood sweethearts in the box-office hit, which won eight Oscars. The Sun told in February how former Skins TV star Dev, of Harrow, North West London who turned 19 yesterday was spotted shopping for rings with Freida at a High Street jeweller last Valentine's Day.
Years of scrounging and vagrancy on the streets of Shahr-e Kord in western meant that Talat Habibian was never anything more than a local beggar to his neighbours.
So when he was found dead in his squalid home, no one suspected that the dishevelled tramp who spent his life pleading for money and favours had left behind a vast fortune.
But now a judge has confirmed that Habibian was a real-life slumdog millionaire after police discovered a treasure trove of valuables stashed away when they went to recover his body.
Searching through the dead man's possessions, officers were stunned to find more than £7,000 in cash, ownership documents to a host of lucrative properties and businesses, and title deeds to acres of fertile farmland.
They also discovered an array of precious jewellery and ornaments, including earrings dating back to the mid-19th century reign of the Qajar king, Mohammad Shah.
The precise value of the assets has yet to be established but officials say it totals several billion Iranian rials potentially millions of pounds sterling.
The judge, Yousef Bagheri, has been appointed to dispose of them after it was confirmed that Habibian – whose age has been given variously as 70 or 75 – had no apparent heirs or next of kin.
The Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of children forced to become street beggars in the Indian city of Mumbai.
Habibian is not Iran's first wealthy beggar. In 2003, a 40-year-old Tehran woman filed for divorce after discovering that her husband, a wealthy carpet trader, regularly begged in a rundown neighbourhood in the south of the city after swapping his businessman's clothes for those of a tramp.
The husband explained that he was driven by a compulsive urge stemming from his impoverished upbringing in which he fell under the spell of organised beggars.
