Freida Pinto spotted with Sidartha Mallya outside stripclub

While Vijay Mallya partied in Goa, the liquor baron's son Sidhartha was helping Freida Pinto ring in her 30th birthday in Los Angeles. The actress marked the landmark anniversary on Friday with a champagne soaked night-out.

In true Hollywood style, Slumdog Millionaire star started the night with free bubbly. Freida Instagrammed a picture of her holding up a bottle gifted to her by a liquor label with the caption, "I would love to post an after pic. But I dare not."

The dreaded 'after' pic has now made its way online. Images published by the British tabloid Daily Mail show Freida draped around a parking meter outside a strip club, after a night on the town with her friends. Her boyfriend of six years and Slumdog Millionaire co-star, Dev Patel, was not among the guests. Instead, Sidhartha was the one keeping her company.

Dressed in a floral mini and heels, Freida put on a 'spirited' performance on the makeshift pole for her giggling entourage. This is a rare public misstep for the low-profile actress, who is more often spotted grocery shopping with Dev. However, a lingerie-clad Freida did play a stripper in Bruno Mars's video Gorilla.

The published images resulted in a slew of comments, with many wondering about Freida's equation with Sidhartha. He moved to LA last year in a bid to start an acting career in Hollywood. Back home, he is better known for a much-talked-about dalliance with Deepika Padukone.
