Ever since becoming a mother, Ileana D’Cruz’s Instagram timeline has been full of posts about motherhood and her son Koa Phoenix Dolan. As the actress embraces this new phase in her life, she is making sure to cherish and share every moment of her journey as a new mother.

Now, in a recent Ask Me Anything session on Instagram, her followers were curious about her coming back to the movies again. Ileana shared a story, where she opened up on the same. Looks like the actress has taken a conscious choice of staying away from films to focus on her baby. She wrote, “When the time is right, I want to give my son, my time right now.”

Ileana D’Cruz also attached a picture with her husband Michael Dolan as a response to the request by another fan. Lost in each other’s eyes, the adorable couple flashes a bright smile in the picture clicked against a picturesque background. Sharing the cute click, she wrote, “Pre baby babies.”

Ileana D’Cruz embraced motherhood last year when she welcomed Koa Phoenix Dolan with Michael Dolan in August. Previously, in an interview with ETimes, the actress revealed the reason behind naming her son Koa Phoenix. She shared, “I wanted to name my baby something unusual because I have a unique name, too. Koa somehow stood out. I spoke to Mike (Michael) about it, and even he found it cute. Phoenix is a name that’s been on my mind for a while. Also, the line ‘Rising from the ashes like a phoenix’ is inspiring. In fact, I got a tattoo of a phoenix in 2018, which had a deep meaning for me. Mike loved the name, and I hope Koa likes it too when he grows up.”

Work-wise, Ileana D’Cruz was last seen in Do Aur Do Pyaar co-starring Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi and Sendhil Ramamurthy in the lead roles. The Shirsha Guha Thakurta’s directorial hit the theatres on April 19, 2024.
