Ileana D'Cruz

Ileana D'Cruz decided to engage with her fans and Instagram followers by answering some questions they might have for her. And her fans had those in spades! Using an Instagram tool, Ileana D'Cruz reached out to her fans to ask her anything they wanted to know.

One of Ileana's fans asked her 'How do you start loving yourself again?' The Barfi actress had a heartfelt response to this question. She wrote back, "Start by forgiving yourself, giving yourself time to heal... Just stop being hard on yourself... accept your faults and your strengths... your imperfections make you perfect... accept it all"

Isn't it a lovely answer to a relevant question? Many times, we're too hard on ourselves. Forgiving and giving yourself some time to heal and recover is usually the best way to love yourself and Ileana put it in the sweetest way possible.

Recently, there was news that Ileana D'Cruz had broken up with beau Andrew Kneebone. The actress had shared some cryptic posts on social media that started the rumours. Andrew's Instagram feed was filled with pictures of Ileana, but now, the pictures have been taken down.

Ileana shared another post today as her Instagram story, which speaks about how you may lose people and partners in life, but you must never lose yourself.

Earlier, during an interview with mid-day during her film Baadshaaho's promotions, Ileana had spoken about Andrew. She had said, "It's not important for me (to tell the world if I'm married or not). I do tell the world about my equation in a way, and let the world a little bit into my life. But I like it that way because I hate the negativity that comes with it. I've learnt to live with it as it has been a little over 12 years for me in the industry now. But it's really not fair on the so many other people, the families involved."
