MARRIAGE IS NOT IMPORTANT

Says Ileana D'Cruz who doesn't toe the conventional line off-screen

One of the very obvious things one would want to know from Ileana D'Cruz is her rather safe choice of films post the experimental Barfi! The actress who was applauded for her role in the Anurag Basu film has since opted for potboilers like Phata Poster Nikhla Hero and now Main Tera Hero. Quite a jump from the delicious Barfi! "I was fortunate that Barfi! happened to me. It was my The Dirty Picture and Kahaani . But such films don't come to you very often," she says defensively, adding that treading the Barfi! path would have typecast her as the "arty type", a tag she isn't too comfortable with. But then doesn't she fear being stereotyped as the go to girl for masala movies? "Not really, these are the films that audiences flock the theatres to watch and as an actor, you want to win the box office more than anything," she says candidly. "I've always been fond of masala entertainers and my filmography down South is a testimony to that."

Believe this, Main Tera Hero is her "dream film". "I've laughed the hardest watching David Dhawan entertainers so when he called me to be a part in his next, I was ecstatic!" asserts the actress, adding that David's Biwi No 1 is her fave comedy.
So now we can only expect a Main Tera Hero from her or god forbid, a Saali Kutti which is what Nikhil Advani's next with her and Imran Khan is supposedly titled? "I'm just in talks with him and haven't confirmed my participation yet," she quips, adroitly avoiding the subject of the Kutti title.
Surprisingly, Ileana is not very active on the social front. She insists she's a 'gharelu' girl who's shy with strangers. But she has found a BFF in the film industry now, Kareena Kapoor. "We chill a lot together, go out for dinners and movies," she beams. "We met on the sets of Happy Ending (her upcoming film with Saif Ali Khan) in LA and since then have bonded like long lost sisters."
Buzz is that she also has an Aussie boyfriend, Andrew Kneebone, a photographer who's supposedly married with three children. "I may be in love, but my private life stays private," snaps Ileana. "I don't make a big fuss about it because marriage is not important. I think it is overrated. I'd like a guy to stay committed to me, but not stay by my side just because he's married to me." Finally, we see a heroine with a difference!

Illeana has the right not to marry and define her relationship the way she wants to.
She may like to think her choice to not marry makes her empowered, but she is nothing more than a common homewrecker/other woman if she is with a married man.
