The truth of D’cruz

Published March 5, 2017

Truth can never be suppressed. The svelte and sassy Ileana D’cruz knows that very well. In a recent interview the actress threw caution to the wind and waxed eloquent on how things work in Bollywood. Though it’s not an eye-opener coming from someone who is still working and has a couple of exciting films lined up, it’s a tad more courageous than what we expect of the gorgeous girl. Her exact words, “At one point you start wondering if being talented in Bollywood is enough or you need connections.” Yep, dead right Ileana D! After what you’ve said, you, girl, will now need connections to survive in the industry.
