Actor Ileana D’Cruz talks about how there was a point early on in her career where she would be conscious about impressing everyone with her films and looks.
Actor Ileana D’Cruz is one of the few Bollywood celebrities, who have spoken up about depression and body image issues. Being an actor comes with a lot of responsibility, and they often have to be people that their fans look up to.
Ileana says that the pressure, especially to look good all the time, does get to her as a celebrity. “For someone who has had body issues, and doesn’t consider herself attractive at all, it affects me even more. But I think right now, I have dealt with the fact that I will be seeing pictures of me which are not flattering. I will have people judging me on if I looked good on a particular day or not,” she says.
She explains, “Some of them find it hard to grasp the fact that you are a normal person. I crave for that. If I am at the supermarket, I don’t have to be obliged to have a conversation with everybody I meet. I want to be alone. I know it sounds petty, but people don’t give you that chance. I feel it’s a stupid thing to complain about, because if I meet an actor I admire, that would set me off as well. But I didn’t want to be famous, I wanted to be an actor.
