Ileana D'Cruz reveals she was offered Ajay Devgn's Raid 2 but turned it down due to ‘different priorities': ‘Couldn't work out the schedule given, just had my baby'
Ileana D'Cruz has been away from films for some time and is currently expecting her second child with husband Michael Dolan. During a recent Instagram AMA session, the actor, who played the female lead in Ajay Devgn's Raid, revealed that she was offered a role in Raid 2 as well. However, she turned it down, citing a shift in priorities and a shooting schedule that didn't align with her availability.
The actor, who played the role of Malini Pathak in the 2018 film Raid, was replaced by Vaani Kapoor in the sequel. During the AMA session, a fan asked about her absence from Raid 2 and plans to make a comeback in films. Ileana replied, 'I miss working in movies too and I would have loved to be a part of Raid 2. Raid was a special film but Malini was such a special character to play and working with my director Raj Kumar Gupta was a wonderful experience as was working with Ajay again.'
She added, 'The makers of Raid 2 did offer the movie to me but unfortunately we couldn't work out the schedule given that I had just had my baby and my priorities are very different at the moment. That said I think Vaani looked lovely in all the promos I've seen and I'm sure she brought her own lovely charm to her character. Hope that clears any confusion.'

When another fan asked her why she has been absent on screen lately, Ileana said, 'Because I'm busy with diapers and baby bum cream.' A user was also curious about the actor's return to films. She wrote, 'Absolutely.'
Ileana D'Cruz also revealed the best thing about motherhood. She said, 'The hardest thing I've ever had to do. Wasn't like anything I expected. All-consuming and 24/7. No off days. But my god, the feeling I get when I see my little one smile, or hold me, or just thrive and be a happy, healthy boy — makes me feel like I'm superwoman.'
Ileana D'Cruz married Michael Dolan in 2023, and welcomed their first child the same year. The couple is now set to welcome their second child.

Last Updated: Nusret Gokce's security team reportedly had issues with the venue, as they were asked to show their invitation card, leading to a dispute. World-famous restaurant owner Nusret Gokce, aka Saltbae, drew attention for his presence at the Champions League final match between Paris Saint-Germain and Inter, with photos capturing his notable moments.

Nusret Gokce's security team reportedly had issues with the venue, as they were asked to show their invitation card, leading to a dispute. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Starsnippets (@star_snippets) A video of the altercation between Nusret Gokce and the security guard went viral, sparking discussion on social media. After the video surfaced online, Nusret clarified that he was at the scene to greet fans and take photos, and was simply waiting for his car when he was guided towards the door. 'After the Champions League final match, we came to the hotel with the UEFA bus; the reason we were there at that moment was the thousands of fans who wanted to see us there. As always, I was in that area to reciprocate their love and have my photo taken. While I was waiting for my car to go to my hotel due to the intensity, I was directed by Mr. Dormen with my back turned in front of the door," he said. 'There was no organisation, such as an invitation or a party in any way, so all the news that I was not admitted to the party is unfounded," Nusret added. He emphasised the importance of being welcomed with love and respect, and said, 'I want it to be known that we are happy to go wherever we are called with love, never to be taken anywhere. Don't worry about such small things, the rest is artificial intelligence." Location : Germany First Published:
