Ben Kingsley in Suspect Zero (2004)

Washington, Oct 4: Sir Ben Kingsley, who had lost his faith in love after experiencing infidelity in his last marriage, has said that his new girlfriend Daniela Lavender has reaffirmed his belief in relationships.

The pair has been a couple since January this year, shortly after Kingsley found out that his third wife Alexandra Christmann had been cheating on him.

The actor came to know about his wife’s extra marital affair after he saw a picture of her with another man on the Internet.

The Gandhi actor while speaking after a screening of the 1987 German film Wings Of Desire further said that the film deeply touched his heart making him realize how lucky he is with his new love.

"This film urges you not to give up on love - and I didn't. And I am now sitting here with the woman I was looking for all those years ago. I don't know how I found her but I did," Contactmusic quoted him, as saying. (ANI)
