Ileana D’Cruz quotes
# “I am a very friendly person. I cannot really be proud or anything. That is my positive point. I am real moody. I am very short tempered. If you catch me in one of my tempers, that is it. Your whole day is ruined. That is my negative point.”
# “I am so used to walking on the road but now I can’t do that. There are people mobbing me and it’s all so unexpected. I do enjoy it at times but I am not used to all this. I am aware all this is transitory and you can’t have the sun shining all the time. In between such hectic schedule, I take my time off and reach for my family.”
# “I am very positive in my approach to work. When you are acting and dancing you think you are doing wonders but when you actually watch yourself on screen, you are not that happy.”
# “The first importance is to the story and then I look at how my character is shaping in the film. I am not for a feeble and a dull storyline. I don’t mind doing a short role if the character has substance. I want a strong woman in the story. I loved my role in Pokiri and I knew it will work. ”
