Ileana D’Cruz embraced motherhood a while back as she was blessed with her first child on August 1, 2023. Recently, the actress gave her first interview after the birth of the child in which she went on to address several topics. From talking about ‘postpartum depression’ to her partner Michael Dolan and speculations about her marriage, she bared it all.

The actress said, "Postpartum depression is very real, and nothing can prepare you for it. I am glad that I had a good support system at home and a team of doctors who took good care of me. Topics like mom guilt are so real. I remember I was in my room, and I started crying. My partner asked me what was wrong and I told him, 'I know it sounds really stupid, but my son is sleeping in the other room, and I am missing him'. So, there are these intense emotions you go through after having a baby. I still am going through it. I am thankful that Mike (Michael Dolan) is such an amazing partner. I don’t need to explain things to him. He makes me take a break and looks after the baby before I join in again.”

On being asked about the marriage with Michael, she said that she is not comfortable talking about it as of now. Ileana continued, "There's so much speculation. Let's just leave it at that. It is nice to have a tiny bit of mystery, right? Well, honestly, I haven't decided how much I want to talk about this part of my life. It comes from a space where previously I talked about my relationship. I didn't like how some people spoke about it back then. I can handle things said about me, but I am not comfortable with people talking rubbish about my partner or my family."
