It is no secret that Ileana D'Cruz has been in a serious relationship for a long time with professional photographer, Andrew Kneebone. The actress has gone on record to say adorable things about her bae and how the man changed her for better. She also credits her relationship for extracting her out of depression. 

Now, the man in the relationship, Andrew, talked to the media recently and spoke about her everlasting bond with Ileana. On Thursday, July 26, the Australian photographer revealed lesser-known details while interacting with Instagram users via the new feature, Ask Me A Question.

On being asked, “What is the one thing you dislike about Ileana but can’t tell her?” Andrew said, “She looks so damn beautiful all the time… I mean sometimes I can’t get anything done because I just look at her and boom!… two hours pass.” 

On being prodded as to whom would he pick between his partner and his passion, photography, he quipped, “I use photography to capture memories of those I love. So, one can’t exist without the other.”

He further added he keeps forgetting that Ileana is a celeb while they are in Australia until "something about us appears in the news (usually wrong) or something is said about me and honestly it freaks me out a bit."

But, has he learnt Hindi yet? He asserts that he has managed to say “acha” and “ticke” (theek hai) but thinks it is “completely useless and doesn’t help the conversation at all but I get by pointing and a good thumbs-up”.

Interestingly, he has another favourite Indian celeb apart from his girlfriend. “Saurabh Shukla is the best in my opinion,” he says while adding that he’d love to play a villain or a barista (huh?) in a Hindi film when asked about any role he would pick if he's offered a Bollywood film.
