The new poster girl
After a performance in Barfi! that won her quite a few awards, Ileana D’cruz is now back on the big screen with Phata Poster Nikla Hero. She seems to be having fun with co-star Shahid Kapoor with the two cracking plenty of jokes at each other’s expense. Readying for a chat, the petite actress told us that her voice is a bit hoarse these days, thanks to the never-ending round of promotional appearances that she has made for her film.
While she is constantly in the limelight, Ileana says she is actually a private person. She says, “I get a lot of satisfaction being in my own space, just being by myself. I think that happens when you spend so much time on the sets with so many people, you begin to value your space. In fact, if you ask me what my favourite activities are, I would say cooking and cleaning.”
The actress, a self-confessed homebody, says her family is happy that after making a mark in the South industry, she is now doing well in Bollywood too. She reveals, “My dad is proud of my success and watched Barfi! twice.”
While the actress has been making news on the professional front, there has been a lot of buzz about her personal life too, with rumours that she’s dating a foreigner. Ileana denies, saying, “Such news does affect a person but you can’t do much about it.”
As of now, the actress says that she is completely focused on the three films in her kitty. She says, “Next, I’m doing Main Tera Hero with Varun Dhawan and Happy Ending with Saif Ali Khan. Both are different in their own way. My plate’s full, that’s all I can accommodate — but I hope another Barfi! comes my way soon.”
While her film Phata Poster Nikla Hero sees Ileana in a lighthearted role, it is Nargis Fakhri who has walked away with a hit item number. Ileana says she has no inhibitions about doing such songs in the future. “I don’t regret missing out on the number in this film because I have a great role. I am sure the audience will roll off their seats laughing!”
