Tollywood actress Ileana D’Cruz, who married Michael Dolan last year, is currently enjoying motherhood while candidly discussing the challenges she faced after giving birth to her second child. In a recent interview, the Goan beauty opened up about the mental and emotional struggles she experienced, describing them as far more demanding than she had anticipated.
Ileana noted that the birth of her first child, Kova Phoenix Dolan, felt manageable, as she smoothly transitioned from single life to motherhood. However, after the arrival of her second child, Keanu Rafe Dolan, she faced severe mental strain and emotional upheaval. Living abroad without friends or support added to her isolation. “Being alone without any support became a real challenge. I miss Mumbai and the emotional strength my friends there provided,” she revealed.
On the professional front, Ileana was last seen in the 2024 Hindi film Do Aur Do Pyaar and has not signed any new projects since. She confirmed that she is currently dedicating her full attention to raising her children and plans to return to her acting career once they are older. Highlighting the joy of motherhood, she emphasized that every moment spent with her family is special and irreplaceable.
