Ileana D'Cruz is currently ruling the social media when pictures of her photoshoot from Fiji came out. The pictures of her rolling around on the beach in a swimsuit were taken by her beau, photographer Andrew Kneebone, as a part of the tourism campaign for Fiji, for which she is the ambassador. It also led to chatter if she is married to Kneebone and whether she is pregnant too!
In a tell-all interview to IANS, Ileana addresses all those rumours, as well as revealing that she had to battle depression when she failed to mee people's expectations and how it was her boyfriend who helped her out. She revealed, "Things had got so bad that I was pushing people away. I didn't realise how much I was alienating people. I would constantly refuse to go out when friends would call. At one point, I didn't realise I was at home for a week... After that, I got an ultimatum from him."
"Now I don't look at life where I'd say: 'Oh gosh, my life's over if I don't have films any more'. My approach is that there's so much more for me to do... It (depression) really was in a way godsent... That depression and that phase in my life, as horrible as it was, was needed in a way to switch things back and change who I was as a person," she added.
She also revealed that she is not pregnant, as the rumours go by. Ileana said, "I'm not pregnant. In fact, I would have been super happy if I was. It's something I have always wanted. But there's still time. I still don't want to become pregnant yet."
As for marriage, this is what Ileana has to say, "It's not important for me (to tell the world if I'm married or not). I do tell the world about my equation in a way, and let the world a little bit into my life. But I like it that way because I hate the negativity that comes with it. I've learnt to live with it as it has been a little over 12 years for me in the industry now. But it's really not fair on the so many other people, the families involved."
Ileana was last seen in Raid, where she played Ajay Devgn's wife. The movie was a hit at the box office, where it earned more than Rs 100 crore.
