Illeana likes to enjoy the little things in life. She savours the greenery, talks to her pets (cats and puppies among them). In fact, she advises us to take a few moments to relish the greenery and asks us to remove the shroud on our hearts. She is given to these simple enjoyments which she finds delightful.

The prima dona doesn’t care two hoots for what others (read the sensationalist media) talk about her personal life. Well, she has always been known for her no-nonsense attitude. She matter-of-factly declares that she has never fallen in love. She, however, loves the beautiful things that nature has for us humans.

The Honey actress can't help if others indulge in disinformation about her life without her involvement. "Just because we are in the glamour industry, people always perceive us from the standpoint of how much we earn, who we are in love with, etc. Since this propaganda is carried without my involvement, I ignore the meaningless talk", Illeana says.

The actress awaits the release of Shankar's Nanban (Snehithudu in Telugu), where she is paired opposite Vijay. Reprising the role of Kareena Kapoor’s 3 Idiots role, she is playing a neat role with her share of emotional moments in the movie.
