Ileana D'Cruz (born 1 November 1987) is an Indian-born Portuguese actress and model who predominantly appears in Telugu and Hindi language films. D'Cruz was born in Mumbai and spent most of her childhood in Goa. D'Cruz made her screen debut in 2006 with Telugu-language film Devadasu, which was a commercial success and won her Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut - South[2]
D'Cruz established herself as a leading actress in Telugu cinema with successful films including Pokiri (2006), Rakhi (2006), Munna (2007), Jalsa (2008), Kick (2009) and Julayi (2012). D'Cruz received Filmfare Award for Best Actress – Telugu nomination for Pokiri, Jalsa and Kick.[3] She made her debut in Tamil cinema with Kedi (2006) and starred in Shankar's Nanban (2012), a commercial success.[4]
D'Cruz expanded to Hindi cinema in 2012 with Anurag Basu's comedy-drama Barfi!, for which she won the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.[5] She has since played the leading lady in the successful films such as Main Tera Hero (2014), Rustom (2016) and Raid (2018). She has received several awards including a Filmfare Award South and a Filmfare Award.[6]
In addition to her acting career, D'Cruz is a prominent celebrity endorser for brands and products.[5]
Early and personal life
D'Cruz was born to a Catholic father and Muslim mother in Mahim, Mumbai on 1 November 1987.[7][8] She has confessed to being an atheist.[9] Her family moved to Parra, Goa when she was 10 years old.[10]
Her first portfolio was created in January 2003; D'Cruz called it a "disaster". Subsequent photo shoots and ramp shows led to a second portfolio the following year, which landed her advertisements from Electrolux, Emami Talc and Fair & Lovely. The latter, in particular, which was directed by Rakesh Roshan, gave her exposure and brought in several offers for acting in feature films.[11]
D'Cruz acquired Portuguese nationality in 2014.[12] In an interview with Verve in 2017, she said that Portugal was a part of her ancestry.[13]
She was in a relationship with Australian photographer Andrew Kneebone. It was rumored that they had already married.[14] On 28 August 2019, Indian media aired the news that the couple had broken up.[15]
Career
Debut and early roles (2005–2006)
In 2005, D'Cruz was called for an audition by director Teja, but the project was cancelled.[16] She made her feature film debut in the Telugu language romance film Devadasu (2006), directed by Y. V. S. Chowdary. She underwent acting classes with Aruna Bhikshu, before starting to work on the film. She recalls that during filming she felt "pressured ... almost cried and didn't want to go further", but went ahead after her mother encouraged her, giving her "the lecture of a lifetime [...] at 3 am."[17] A review from Indiaglitz stated that she "has chiseled features and a figure to die-for."[18] Devadasu became the year's first commercially successful Telugu film, eventually grossing around ₹140 million,[19] whilst earning D'Cruz the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debutant.[20] She next appeared in the gangster film Pokiri in which she portrayed an aerobics teacher, who is harassed by a corrupt police officer.[21] The film was a high financial success, emerging as the highest-grossing Telugu film at the time.[22]
She made her Tamil-language film debut in Kedi (2006). Although the film did not do so well at the box-office,[citation needed] D'Cruz remained too busy to accept all the film roles offered to her.[23] Her Telugu film Khatarnak (2006) in which she acted opposite Ravi Teja did not do as well as expected, which has been attributed to her glamorous appearance not going down well with the audience.[citation needed] She subsequently experienced a breakthrough in her career as her following releases Rakhi (2006) and Munna (2007) proved critically and financially successful.[citation needed]
Breakthrough and establishment in Telugu cinema (2007–2011)
D'Cruz appeared in the 2007 film Aata.[citation needed] She received favourable reviews for her performance as Satya, a college student who is on the run from the home minister's crooked son by whom she is targeted, when leading a protest and demanding punishment for his crimes.[24] In 2008, she performed the female lead role in the action film Jalsa, directed by Trivikram Srinivas. D'Cruz received largely positive remarks, with critics citing that she looked "pretty",[25] "damn cool",[26] and "every bit chic and stunning throughout the film",[27] while being later awarded the Santosham Award, one of five awards for Jalsa,[28] and the South Scope Style Award, besides garnering a nomination for the Best Actress prize at the 56th Filmfare Awards South. Her first 2009 release, titled Kick, was likewise declared a box office success,[29][30] becoming one of the highest-grossing films that year.[31]
Later that year she starred in the films Rechipo and Y. V. S. Choudary's Saleem both of which performed poorly at the box office.[32]
D'Cruz had 2 releases in 2011. Her first film that year was Shakthi, where she essayed the lead female role. She gave a stage performance for this movie's audio release function along with Jr. NTR, as part as promotion of the film. The socio-fantasy film, the costliest Telugu film ever made at ₹ 250,000,000.[33] Her next release was Nenu Naa Rakshasi, which marked her second collaboration with Puri Jagannadh. Though the film was a failure, her performance was received positively by critics; an Indiaglitz reviewer described her as a "pleasant surprise in the film" as she "cried, smirked, looked hot, grabbed sympathy and made faces that were apt to the scenes",[34] while cinegoer's reviewer cited that the film had "one bright spot, Ileana, she looks stunning and also like an accomplished senior to the hero."[35] Despite her recent failures, D'Cruz continued to be the highest-paid actress in South India.[36]
Bollywood debut and success (2012–2017)
In early 2012, she starred in the Tamil film Nanban directed by S. Shankar, a remake of the 2009 Hindi film 3 Idiots. The film opened to high positive reviews from critics praising the performance. It became a major financial success, grossing ₹400 million (US$5.6 million) at the box office on its first week.[4] Her next release was the action comedy Julayi, written and directed by Trivikram Srinivas. D'cruz was featured as Madhu opposite Allu Arjun. The film opened to positive reviews and became the third biggest hit in 2012 and biggest hit in Telugu.[citation needed] She then starred in Puri Jagannadh's comedy Devudu Chesina Manushulu.

The movie released on 14 September 2012,[39] to highly positive reviews from critics,[40] and was a major commercial success, earning ₹1.75 billion (US$25 million) worldwide.[41] D'Cruz's performance was well received, earning her a Filmfare Best Female Debut Award, as well as a nomination for Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actress. Rachit Gupta from Filmfare said "This is Ileana's first film but her fantastic performance is just a testament why the Telugu audience consider her a superstar. Of course it also helps that she is the most visually appealing in Barfi! out shining even the scenic hills of Darjeeling".[42] Rajeev Masand stated "Ileana leaves a lasting impression in her Hindi film debut, conveying both love and pain through those beautiful, expressive eyes".[43] The film was screened at the Busan International Film Festival,[44] Marrakech International Film Festival[45] and was chosen as India's official entry to the Oscars for the 85th Academy Awards.[46]
