Ileana D’Cruz quotes
“I’ve gone with a pure gut instinct in all the films I’ve chose to work in, whether it’s the co-stars, my director, and big budget or small, it could be anything. The script is the soul of the film and I go with the flow when I read it. If it takes me by surprise, I do the film or else I leave it.”

“As an actor I am supposed to do justice to the role and the film I am doing. I don’t know if I am the highest paid female star or not.”

“I am quite a foodie and love to binge on biryani, sweets — the works, but my constitution is such that I don’t put on weight.”
