Ileana D’Cruz needs no introduction. Given some of her spectacular hits at the box office, the actress known for her impeccable acting chops in films like Barfi, Rustom and other commercial films has now managed to garner her own foothold in the industry.
But while we now cherish her success, it wasn’t the same for the actress before, that’s that, the actress opened up on her life troubles back in 2021, and how she shone through with optimism.
Talking about how she faced uncertainties in her life, “The pandemic was something that threw people completely off guard. We didn’t expect it and do know how to really deal with it. Having said that, 2020 wasn’t so bad for me. 2021 wasn’t the best year for me. It was really difficult. In fact, I got to a point when I was seriously considering if I should continue it. I think a lot of us went into a little bit of a funk.”
She then added how things changed for her after she landed in Mumbai, saying “When I came to Mumbai, it felt right and everything fell back in its place even though we were very much in the middle of a lockdown. There was a sense of optimism because of the support system around me. It was great that they were cheering me on.”
She concluded by sharing hints on the kind of roles she wants to do now, saying, “I am seeking nuanced and complex roles. I definitely like doing commercial cinema but it’s a vague kind of space. Sometimes, you can have a nuanced character in a commercial film, but it might also be rare to get both in one little package. In short, I want to do something that’s unexpected of me” as quoted by Hindustan Times.
