Actress Ileana D'Cruz is assuredly making a mark in
Bollywood with every film of hers that comes out. Her last film Mubarakan which
also starred Arjun Kapoor, Anil Kapoor and Athiya Shetty was loved by the viewers
and critics alike.
When it comes to Ileana's personal life, the actress has
always maintained a stance of not opening up too much about her relationship
with Australian boyfriend Andrew Kneebone.
When questioned by a famous daily, whether she will ever
speak in detail about Andrew, the actress disclosed, "I doubt that will
ever happen. I've been working in the industry for 11 years. It's taken me a
lot to understand the working culture. We actors get a lot of love, but at
times, we get double the amount of negativity for no reason whatsoever. There
are times when the comments become nasty. It's not fair for him to go through
it. He is a normal person and is entitled to his privacy. I have had people
coming and telling me that he is not an Indian and I find it stupid. He is
someone who has been special to me and I don't want to be in a situation where
my family is targeted for no fault of theirs."
Ileana also stated that while sometimes Andrew gives her his
feedback on her films, they don't interfere with each other's career.
When questioned about her wedding plans, Ileana specified,
"I think marriage and live-in relationship aren't really different. It is
just a piece of paper that separates the two. Marriage is great for a lot of
people. It changes a lot of things between two people, but I don't look at it
in that way. My commitment towards him is not going to change."
On the fact that actresses don't tend to get quality work
after wedding and Ileana told, "It is an accepted norm that this is the
way the industry functions. I can either accept it or move on. Or choose to
fight it for the rest of my life. I'd choose the first option. We have had many
instances of actresses, who have been super talented, but they didn't get
offers as after marriage, which is unfair. I am happy with the work that I have
got so far. Personally and professionally, I am in a great space. There are no
complaints."
In the meantime, on the film front, Ileana will next be seen
in Baadshaho that also stars Ajay Devgn, Emraan Hashmi, Esha Gupta and Vidyut
Jammwal. Directed by Milan Luthria, Baadshaho is slated to release on September
1, 2017.
