Actress Ileana D’Cruz says she would never beg for movie, even if that means not having a lot of work.
“I have been lucky to be in the Bollywood industry but it’s all about opportunity here. If you do get an opportunity, it’s up to you whether you take it or not. If you are good, you sustain, and if you are not you end your career,” D’Cruz said.
“But I think I have done pretty well for myself and I can say that with a lot of pride. I am who I am today because of my hard work and I haven’t asked for favours from anyone. I will never beg for roles as I have my dignity,” she added.
D’Cruz kick-started her career in Bollywood with the critically acclaimed film Barfi!, then she went on to do films including Phata Poster Nikhla Hero and Rustom.
While she has the image of a girl-next-door onscreen, in real life she says she is very straightforward.
“I have always been brutally blunt but I have been caught into the social media scene recently. I think people will see a more frank side of me because it’s coming directly from me. I like it because I want people to understand what they see on screen is a character. What I am is you are going to see on social media,” said the 28-year-old.
“They misunderstand me so many times but it’s part of life,” she added.
