A Mobile, Ala. couple and their five-year-old granddaughter remain missing after catastrophic flooding swept through a Texas campground over the early morning hours of July 4. Ileana and Eddie Santana Sr., their son Eddie Santana Jr., his wife Camille and their daughter Mila Rose were staying at the HTR TC Hill Country Campground in Kerrville, Texas, when their cabin was swept away by rapidly rising floodwaters. The Guadalupe River, which borders the campground, rose 26 feet in just 45 minutes. Santana Jr., who is reported by a fundraising link to be an active-duty member of the military, managed to escape the flood waters after being sucked in by climbing onto a tree, where he held on for hours before being rescued. He was hospitalized with head and side lacerations and released on July 6. It was reported that when he was in the hospital, he was notified that his wife, daughters and parents were still missing. Camille Santana's body recovered, sister confirms in Facebook post On July 8, search crews recovered Camille's body. Her sister, Kali, confirmed the news in a Facebook post. "As of today, my beautiful sister Camille was found and was called by God to be by his side," she said. As of Wednesday, the search continues for Ileana and Eddie Santana Sr. and Mila Rose. 119 reported dead, an Alabama girl reported among victims The flooding has claimed the lives of at least 119 people, and at least 170 people are still missing, according to a USA Today report. The hardest hit county, Kerr County, reported 95 deaths, with at least three dozen of them being children. Among the victims was Sarah Marsh, an eight-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama. She was attending Camp Mystic, a Christian retreat for girls located near the Guadalupe River. Greg Abbott, President Trump respond to relief efforts Gov. Greg Abbott vowed that authorities would "work around the clock" to locate those still unaccounted for. In a post on X, Abbott called the search efforts the state's "#1 job."

Who is this actress who made debut at 18, got intimidated and ran away crying from sets of her first film, now a superstar, she is.. In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, it's usually the dazzling and glittering life of celebrities that comes in the forefront. However, what happens behind the scenes is a lot more than what meets the eye. One such similar tale is of an actress whose journey didn't start with a bang but rather with fear, tears, and self-doubt. However, she didn't lose hope; she stood tall, and today she's amongst the top actresses in the industry Ileana D'Cruz's First Film The actress that we are talking about is none other than Ileana D'Cruz. She ventured into the world of entertainment at 18 in the year 2006. Her debut film was Devadasu. However, instead of being amazed by the world of showbiz, she was taken aback. She felt intimidated by the world of entertainment, and it was made worse because of the language barrier and the pressure of proving herself. Later, things spiraled to the point that she ended up calling her mother in tears, saying she is ready to quit. But instead of sympathy, her mother reminded her of the commitment she had made by signing the contract and encouraged her to follow through with courage. Since then, the actress has never looked back and has only gone upwards and onwards in her journey. From Self-Doubt to Success After the initial stage of self-doubt, she carved out a niche for herself through hard work and dedication. Later, she also appeared in Barfi, which went on to cement her image amongst the finest performers in Indian cinema.

Ileana D'Cruz once revealed she ran away from the sets of her first film because people said she will never make it: 'I was made to do things I never expected to do...'
Ileana D'Cruz, now a celebrated Bollywood actress, had a difficult start. During her debut film Devadasu (2006) at 18, she felt overwhelmed by the unfamiliar environment and negativity, even walking off set in tears. A call with her mother, who reminded her of her commitment, grounded her. Ileana persevered, proving resilience triumphs over early criticism, ultimately becoming a bankable star. Before winning hearts in Barfi! and becoming one of Bollywood's most reliable performers, Ileana D'Cruz faced a rocky start in the film industry. At just 18, during the first day of her debut film Devadasu (2006), she felt overwhelmed, doubted, and out of place—so much so that she ran off set in tears. But a grounding call with her mother changed everything, setting her on the path to stardom. In a past interview with Hindustan Times, Ileana revealed that she faced an emotionally rough start to her acting career during the shoot of her debut film Devadasu (2006). At just 18, she found herself overwhelmed by the unfamiliar world of filmmaking—surrounded by a language she didn't understand, asked to perform tasks she wasn't prepared for, and thrown into an environment that felt completely alien. Adding to the pressure, some people on set doubted her potential and made it clear they didn't believe she had a future in acting. Already struggling with self-doubt, the negativity hit hard, leaving her deeply upset. At one point, the stress became so intense that she even walked off the set. But despite the rocky beginning, Ileana pushed through and went on to become one of the industry's most bankable stars—proving that resilience matters more than early criticism. Looking back, the actress remembered feeling completely out of place during her early days in the industry. Emotionally drained and overwhelmed, she once walked out of the studio gates in tears and called her mother. But instead of sympathy, she received a dose of tough love. Her mother reminded her that she had made a professional commitment and had to face the reality, whether or not it was comfortable. The reminder of her signed contract and responsibility helped ground her—and pushed her to persevere through the initial discomfort. She still holds on to the moment when her mother encouraged her to finish what she had started, reminding her that she could return home afterward if she wished. While the pressure was real, Ileana clarifies that her mother never forced her into anything—only offered unwavering support and motivation when she needed it most.
