Ileana D`Cruz
Ileana D’Cruz has always kept her personal life quite private. The actress, who has been away from the limelight for quite some time now, broke the internet after she welcomed her second child, Keanu Rafe Dolan in June this year. In a candid interview recently, she opened up about battling postpartum depression and keeping her kids away from media glare.
In an interview with NDTV, Ileana shared, "What is nice the second time around is that you have sort of been through the drill, you know what to expect, especially with the delivery process. I was very clear, and I wanted to do things differently. I wanted to be a little crazy. I said I`m going to go unmedicated this time. I`m not going to do the epidural. I told my nurse that we need to come up with a plan and it was great because she worked with me.”
