Ileana D'cruz speaks about her STRUGGLE with BODY SHAMING

Ileana D'cruz is one of those actresses who has never been afraid to speak her mind. She has earlier been vocal about body shaming and depression too. The actress says that with being a celebrity there's a lot of pressure one has to deal with. She has to look good all the time, the way her fans expect her to be.

She says, "For someone who has had body issues, and doesn't consider herself attractive at all, it affects me even more. But I think right now, I have dealt with the fact that I will be seeing pictures of me which are not flattering. I will have people judging me on if I looked good on a particular day or not."

She said that initially even she felt the need to impress everyone and get good reviews about her looks and pictures. But later, she understood that it is not possible to please everyone. She thinks that it is rather better to accept the reality and move on.

Ileana had earlier revealed suffering from Body Dysmorphic Disorder during her teenage years due to which the actress fell into depression soon.

She said that sometimes, even now, she gets upset whenever there are some harsh comments on her pictures or looks. She added, "There are also times when you don't want to get a picture clicked, but you have to oblige the photographers. That gets a little annoying, but I have grown to accept it, and now I try not to crib about this. No matter how great you look, people will still find faults with you."

She had further even added that she never sees herself as a celebrity but always calls herself an actor. Not only that but, she never wanted to be a famous person, but rather, preferred to be an actor since the beginning. She said that she craves to lead a normal life and carry out the normal chores.
