That's exactly what Freida did when she called off her engagement to Rohan Antao to start dating Dev in January 2009.
“I feel what I did was right,” Freida says. “There were no two ways about it. But when I walked into Woody Allen’s office and read the scene in the nursery, where Dia confesses for the first time that she has doubts about what she is getting into, I was like, 'Has someone been reading the gossip magazines to Woody?' ”
