Cannot sweet-talk to people to get a film: Ileana D'Cruz

Bollywood actress Ileana D'Cruz, who is
known for her no-nonsense attitude, says she has got all her films on
merit and she does not want to impress people to get work.
"People could take (attitude) as arrogance but actually it is not! I
could be very nice to people, go out for coffee and dinner or socialize
to become their favourite, but I choose not to do that. I cannot
sweet-talk to people to get a film," Ileana, who will soon be seen in
Milan Luthria's upcoming film "Baadshaho", told IANS here.
"Rather I want to be chosen for a film when the director would think
that I can do justice to the role and that I am talented. So far, all
the films that I have got are based on my merit," she added.
After a successful journey in the South Indian film industry, Ileana
debuted in Bollywood with the film "Barfi!" in 2012, and acted in
various films like "Phata Poster Nikhla Hero", "Main Tera Hero", "Happy
Ending", "Rustom" and "Mubarakan" before the upcoming "Baadshaho".
Coming from a non-filmy background, asked if she manages to make
friends in the industry, the actress said: "I am not rude to anyone. As
a professional I want all my co-stars, director, producer and
colleagues to feel easy and comfortable working with me, but I am not
walking into a film set to make friends."
"I am here to work, this is my professional world and I want to do good
work here. I do not take some extra steps to become a friend or develop
a relationship with other co-stars. End of the film, if we become
friends that is a bonus," said Ileana.
So, how does Ileana spend her leisure time?
"I like going out with close friends. I watch a lot of animated films
and TV as stress busters, I love shopping! I can shop from anywhere in
the world whether it is from footpath or shopping mall, I shop from
everywhere," shared the actress.
Scheduled to release on September 1, "Baadshaho" has been directed by
Milan Luthria and produced by T-Series.
