It is no secret that Ileana D'Cruz is a private person. The actress in fact, broke news about her marriage by referring to her photographer boyfriend Andrew Kneebone as “hubby” in an Instagram post. In a recent interview. She said she does not want her private space to be part of “rubbish gossip columns”. “It is very sacred to me. I do not want it to be served on a platter in a gossip column, I don't want it to be part of this gossip section in the newspaper. It's a very important, sacred part of my life-and it means a lot to me,” Ileana said.
She said there are many layers to her personal life and “people will end up reading so many skewed versions of it if I talk about it.” The 'Raid' actress has always been vocal about her struggle with body dysmorphic disorder for 15 years. “I am not ashamed of it. When you are ashamed of a certain thing, then it is hard to talk about. For me, what would bother me the most is the fact that I would not want people to see me in that state,” she said. “When you are dealing with depression, it hits you when you are least expecting it. For me, to be in that state... it was something hard... I think that is what people are shy about, because they don't want to be seen in that light and I can completely relate to it.”
About work, she said, “I just want to choose characters that are different. And from the choices I have made so far, directors have been coming up to me with very nice, nuanced characters. In fact... I am finding it very hard to make a choice.”
