Slumdog Millionaire star Dev Patel's mother found out about her son's engagement on the Internet. Only he never popped the question.

But the buzz grew so strong, Patel's mother was forced to clear up rumors herself.
"My mum will go to work and [have to] explain to everyone why they have written that her son is going to get engaged," he tells PEOPLE, "and got a wedding ring, and how it's all not true."
