Long legged Goa beauty Ileana taking a seat besides Mehboob Khan’s ‘Mother India,’ Mira Nair’s ‘Salaam Bombay’ and Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Lagaan’ with the Oscar selection of ‘Barfi’ feels proud. Yes, the above are the just three films which made it to final stages of Oscar and now it is ‘Barfi’ of Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana. Starting a career in Bollywood with this kind of critically praised and commercially successful flick is like a dream come true for her.
‘It is a rare honor, privilege and a matter of pride. ‘Barfi’ has been received with overwhelming response from audience and critics. Now, film being selected as India’s entry to the Oscars makes me feel the joy. I am waiting for more such projects in future where an actress gets an opportunity to perform her skills,’ Ileana said on a happy note.
