Ileana D’Cruz is the kind of girl you want to get along with. She has a nice-girl vibe about her. When she walks in for an event by Skechers, she sure makes heads turn with her infectious smile, her demure walk and her fit body. “I love doing Pilates,” she says.

Ileana may have been in Bollywood for a while now, but she has chosen to stay away from the spotlight, living a simple life, hanging out with friends outside the industry and visiting her family in Goa every now and then. “As an actor, I love to act. When I am not acting, I am leading a life which only I own,” she says. Ileana, unlike most of her contemporaries, is happy doing selective, but impactful roles. She is in no hurry to build a filmography that is quantity over quality.
