Ileana D'Cruz Never Wants Her Kids To Feel They 'Must Earn' Her Love: 'It's Worst Feeling'
Last Updated:
The actor, who confirmed her second pregnancy earlier this year in February, took to Instagram Stories to respond to a fan's comment on her earlier post about love and parenting.
Actor Ileana D'Cruz has shared a heartfelt note on parenting, expressing how she wants to raise her children with unconditional love. The actor, who confirmed her second pregnancy earlier this year in February, took to Instagram Stories to respond to a fan's comment on her earlier post about love and parenting.
In the fan's message, they wrote, 'People, and especially kids, should be taught that being cruel, wicked, unkind or selfish are not lovable traits and you will not be loved and also should not reward love to those. Love has to be earned just like respect and happiness. And its not wrong to chase love… We just have to teach kids not to chase people for their response to our positive qualities but merely to nurture them so that people will turn to us on their own."
Sharing the screenshot, Ileana responded with a deeply personal message: 'I will never want my children to feel that they need to 'earn' my love. That is by far the worst feeling I have ever experienced. Feeling 'not good enough'. I want to raise happy, healthy, kind children (I am sure all parents do) and I will do my best to ensure to know how loved they are. These are, of course, my views and opinions. You do you."
Ileana and her husband Michael tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2023. She first surprised her fans in April last year by announcing her pregnancy with a picture of a baby onesie and the caption, 'Coming soon. Can't wait to meet you, my little darling." The couple welcomed their son in August, with Ileana sharing the news: 'No words could explain how happy we are to welcome our darling boy to the world. Heart's beyond full."
On the professional front, Ileana was last seen in the romantic comedy Do Aur Do Pyaar, directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta. The film also featured Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy.

Vidya Balan recalls Akshaye Khanna's reaction after she rejected film opposite him, here's who she asked for help
Vidya Balan has come a long way. From playing endearing characters to picking up serious roles in films, the actress has proved her finesse and versatility. In a recent interaction with a media portal, she shared a hilarious anecdote from her early days of acting. Vidya recalled rejecting a film that featured her opposite Akshaye Khanna and revealed how the latter reacted to her saying 'no' to the project. Revisiting her journey and years-long career in the industry, the Do Aur Do Pyaar actress mentioned how she never wanted to hurt anyone by saying 'no' to any project. Vidya Balan shared, "There was a film offered to me opposite Akshaye Khanna, and for some reason, I didn't connect with the script. But I didn't pick up the phone and tell him that. I asked my manager to convey it to the director." The 46-year-old went on to share that when she met Akshaye on the sets of Salaam-e-Ishq, he fired her for rejecting the script, after which she ran to John Abraham for help. She asked to save her and opened up about not wanting to indulge in confrontation, hurt anyone's feelings, or make someone feel bad. "But eventually, he was only pulling my leg. I later realized," added Vidya. Furthermore, the Tumhari Sulu actress agreed to the fact that no one wants to hear 'no,' given that so much effort and time are invested into creating a script. Making a heartfelt confession, Balan stated that being married to a producer has made her realize the same even more than before. Spilling beans on the way to becoming honest, Vidya told the portal, "I'm not a rude person. I say it as it is, but I am aware of how much efforts go into developing a script and I value it." For the uninitiated, Vidya Balan was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiyya 3 alongside Madhuri Dixit and Kartik Aaryan. With a glorious career spanning decades, she is known for movies like Kahaani, The Dirty Picture, Ishqiya, and Parineeta.
