Ileana D'Cruz Complete Bio & Career

18 years – and that’s when her career took off. She has always been a fighter and a winner. Prioritizing her family over work, maintaining a better relationship with her friends, fighting her depression, and somewhere in between, she turned out to be one of the most popular celebrities in South and North India. Born in Mumbai, she did her schooling in St. Xavier’s, Goa, and graduated from the University of Mumbai. She took modelling as her career and landed up in acting.
