Ileana D'Cruz is awaiting for the release of her upcoming Bollywood flick 'Mubarakan'. During the promotional event, The Goan Beauty disclosed the biggest hurdle she faced at the start of her career. 'When I got the opportunity to work for 'Devadasu', Neither I knew Telugu nor Hindu. I used to speak only in English on the sets. Reporters used to ask Me to speak in Hindi during promotions. I used to get scared at that time and even left the country. I spent 3 weeks in a foreign country and asked filmmakers to leave me alone. Never thought I would receive so much of love from the people,' she says.

South Films: 'I am like Akshay Kumar in South. Just alike him, I used to do four films per year. I acted with Mahesh Babu, NTR, Prabhas, Pawan Kalyan and Raviteja. I enjoyed working with Raviteja more. I did 3 films with him. Currently, My focus is only on Bollywood. 'Mubarakan' is my 22nd Movie. I play a Punjabi Girl in the film'.

Love Affair: 'I am in love with Australian photographer Andrew Kneebone. Industry Folks advised Me not to speak about him publicly citing it affects my career. But, I would never hesitate to speak about him. Andrew is a great person..very special for me'.
