Ileana D’Cruz opens up about dealing with body issues

Bollywood newcomer Ileana D’Cruz has opened up about the pressures she faces of looking good being in the public eye.

Cruz, who is seen in this weekend’s release ‘Housefull 3’, said she struggled to accept her “unusual” body type.

Elaborating on this, Cruz told PTI, ���There was a point when I was super skinny. And I have had body issues for very long. I was at my lightest weight and even then I felt ��Oh my God I am so fat.�۪ I am not too open about my body type. I have an unusual body type.”

She added, ���I�۪ve reached a phase now where I am like, ��you know what, I am not super happy with the way I look, but I am ready to work at it. I am not going to obsess over it�۪.�۝

Talking about the pressures she feels as an actress, she said, ���Absolutely. When going out, I look in the mirror, like any other normal girl, and feel ��I look alright�۪. Then I get slammed by paparazzi. I say to myself why do I look so different in photographs.�۝

‘Housefull 3’ is out at cinemas this weekend.
