Ileana D’Cruz says that she cannot really object to being used as a ‘prop’ in some films, as she really enjoyed doing them. She told DC:
“I have been parts of some films in the South where I didn’t expect certain shots to be shot in a certain way. I wasn’t experienced enough, I was very naive, I didn’t have the standing of an actor to say that ‘I don’t want to do this shot.’ So it really depends. Some people are okay with it, some are not. At the end of the day, you are doing the film for the audience. May be some sections of people actually like watching this,” she said.

Recalling the experience while shooting her very first film, Ileana, who will next be seen in ‘Baadshaho’, says, “They threw a fairly big shell on my belly. I didn’t understand it. I asked the director, ‘Why did you throw a shell on me?’ and he was like, ‘it looks beautiful’. I said, but it was really heavy.”
