Exclusive: I won't go out for a drink with someone just for a film, says Ileana

Goan beauty Ileana D’Cruz has managed to make a mark in Bollywood without a godfather. Now she aspires to leave her mark in Hollywood too, but on her terms. “I am most comfortable in English. So, Hollywood would be fun, but I don’t have an agent,” Ileana said. When asked how she plans to make headway into the West, Ileana seems to have it sorted.

“Social media has made everyone so accessible that if people want to choose an Indian actor, they can find me. I don’t want to do the whole audition thing again. They can watch any of my films for reference. I am not going to run after anything or anybody. I believe I am qualified,” said the feisty girl.

Always known to speak her mind, Ileana, despite being an outsider, has never been desperate to get films.

“I think at some level if you have valuable contacts, you can get better offers. However, I would like to be recognised for my work. Hence, I am not desperate. I won’t go out for a drink with someone just for a film. It’s just not me,” the Barfi! actress said.

After proving her versatility in her films, she will now play a Punjabi girl in the upcoming film Mubarakan. Well, we wish her all the best for home and the West.
