Throwback Tuesday! When ‘Water Babe’ Ileana D'Cruz flaunted her bikini body in beach outfits

Popular actress Ileana D'Cruz enjoys a massive fan following on social media platforms and besides her solid performances on the silver screen, the gorgeous gal never disappoints her admirers when it comes to sharing jaw-dropping pictures of herself from exotic locations around the world. A hot favourite among fashion photographers to walk down the ramp and pose for photo-shoots, Ileana is currently enjoying her quarantine life and looking forward to the release of her upcoming Bollywood film ‘The Big Bull’.

With close to 13 million followers on Instagram, Ileana D'Cruz is immensely popular for her photo-sessions in beach outfits like bikinis and monokinis. With her attractive body, washboard abs and killer looks, she naturally ups the hotness quotient in every frame.

Initially reluctant to enter the showbiz world, Ileana burst onto the modelling scene by walking the ramp at fashion shows and posing for photo-shoots. After her fairness cream commercial with filmmaker Rakesh Roshan went viral, she turned into a popular model with top brand endorsements in her kitty. In her successful film career down South, the bombshell shared the screen with all A-list actors like Pawan Kalyan, Mahesh Babu, Vijay, Junior NTR, Prabhas, Rana, Ram and others. In Bollywood too, she romanced noted superstars like Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, etc.

Though it was Telugu film Devadasu that introduced Ileana to the celluloid, Mahesh Babu’s Pokiri catapulted her into the big league with immense recognition from all quarters. After starring in Devudu Chesina Manushulu, the Goa beauty stunned one and all by delivering a superb performance in her maiden Bollywood film Barfi! She bid adieu to Tollywood thereafter and shifted her focus towards Hindi cinema. Despite having a couple of superhits like Main Tera Hero and Rustom, Ileana’s Bollywood career never really took off. However, she has been successful in grabbing films like Happy Ending, Baadshaho, Raid and Pagalpanti.

Ileana D’ Cruz has dated Australian photographer Andrew Kneebone for a few years. In August 2019, the duo has reportedly broke-up as they unfollowed each other on Instagram. The actress has also deleted pictures of them together from her feed. Speaking to a media house after the alleged break up, the Pokiri actress expressed that she is in no mood to get into any serious relationship and is indeed not ready for love. She also admitted that post her break-up she went to a therapist who helped her come out of the situation. She further shared how falling in love is easy but staying in love is a different thing.

With over 13 million followers on Instagram, Ileana D’ Cruz is a darling of netizens. Right from a floral jacket, jumpsuit, lehenga to a voluptuous bikini, monokini and swimsuit, she certainly knows how to pull off any attire with utmost grace. The blonde beauty is also a hot favourite among designers to walk down the ramp as she always scores high on fashion meters. Besides offering a sneak peek into her personal and professional space, the ‘water babe’ keeps her fans happy by sharing eye-popping pics from photo-shoots.

After a gap of six long years, Ileana made a comeback to Telugu cinema with Amar Akbar Anthony (2018). Released amid good expectations, the Ravi Teja starrer failed to set the cash registers ringing. However, the ‘Raid’ actress bagged good marks for her flawless performance and dazzling beauty. Presently, she is looking forward to the release of ‘The Big Bull’ starring Abhishek Bachchan in the titular role. The plot of the film is based on stockbroker Harshad Mehta's life involving his financial crimes over a period of 10 years, from 1980 to 1990.
