From the very beginning, Ileana has been extremely tight-lipped about her personal life. But, recently, she revealed the man of her life. She dropped pictures from a date night with her mysterious man.
In April, she shocked everyone when she announced her pregnancy. While she has been sharing her pregnancy journey, the actress for the very first time, flaunted her full-grown baby bump. She also shared a photo with a caption, "Being pregnant is such a beautiful beautiful blessingâ€æI didn’t think I’d be fortunate enough to ever experience this so I consider myself so incredibly lucky to be on this journey. I can’t even begin to describe how lovely it is to feel a life growing inside of you. Most days I’m just overwhelmed staring down at my bump going wow - I get to meet you soon- and then there’s some days that are so inexplicably hard. So trying. They’re overwhelming. All consuming. And things just feel hopeless."
"And there’s tears. Then follows the guilt. And this voice in my head puts me down. I should be thankful, not be crying over something so trivial. I should be stronger. What kind of mother will I be if I’m not strong enough..And I don’t know what kind of mother I will be. I really don’t. All I do know is that I love this little human so darned much already I could explode. And for now - I think that’s enough," she added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Ileana was last seen in The Big Bull, co-starring Abhishek Bachchan. Filmmaker Kookie Gulati directed the film and it was produced by Ajay Devgn. She will be next seen in 'Unfair And Lovely' with Randeep Hooda.
