She mentioned she has always been self-conscious about her body from a very young age. She also said that she hit a rock bottom in her life during which she had suicidal thoughts due to a very sensitive topic.

Talking about the incident, the actor revealed that the article might have been written with positive intentions, but it upset her because it made wrong assumptions about her. She exclusively spoke to Bollywood Hungama, “I came across an article, because many people messaged me that 'we didn't know this about you.' It was I think meant in good intent, but it annoyed me because a lot of stuff was taken out of context. Yes I've had body issues, from the time I was probably 12, I was very self-conscious. that's one aspect.

She added, "The other aspect about the suicidal bit, it is a very very sensitive topic, and there has been a time where I hit a really low point in my life, and it got to a situation where I was thinking about stuff, but it wasn't related to body issues. Those are two separate issues, so I didn't like the fact that they clubbed them together like that 'oh you know because she had body issues.' I said, 'no,' not to say that if somebody else is going through something like that, you should downplay it."

On the work front, Ileana D’Cruz was seen in a song named 'Ooo Ooo', which is composed and sung by Qaran with lyrics by Qaran and Siddhesh Patole. The actor will next be seen in Unfair and Lovely opposite actor Randeep Hooda.
