Ileana’s starry debut
Ranbir Kapoor is not the only one lapping up praises for Barfi, because his co-star Ileana D’Cruz seems to have touched a chord too, as far as the tinsel townies are concerned. The actress, who has made her Bollywood debut with Barfi, is being showered with words of praise from directors, actors and film critics across the industry.
It’s not too often that a mega star comes all out in praise of a newcomer, but that’s exactly what happened when Amitabh Bachchan tweeted his appreciation for her. “The lovely Ileana D’Cruz in her debut for Hindi film… such a matured and balanced performance, many congratulations.” Seconding him, was Karan Johar, who said, “Well done Ileana!!! Superb debut.” Among others praising her were actresses Lara Dutta, who called her performance “superlative”, Dia Mirza and Sophie Chaudry, to name a few. Even Aalia Bhatt, whose debut film Student of the Year is yet to release, joined the bandwagon. Calling her “ma’am” she said that Ileana makes a “strong debut impression.”
The one on the receiving end of all the praise didn’t lose a moment before thanking each one. With so much talent and courtesy in place, no prizes for guessing who could be a top contender for the next “best debutante” award.
