Pretty Ileana who impressed us with her acting skills is now showcasing a so far unknown facet of her personality --- cooking. The hotshot actress of Raakhi and Pokiri fame claims to be an absolute foodie, who loves to savour all kinds of food including Chinese and Indian cuisine, but Hyderabadi remains her favourite. Unlike other actresses, Ileana is not calorie-conscious and indulges in sumptuous food and high-calorie desserts. And is quite skilled at dishing out desserts too! Ileana's mother tells that she bakes delicious cakes for her younger siblings when she's away.
As Ileana tells us herself, "My younger sister likes my preparations and very recently she appreciated my pancake. I hope she has no complaints (laughs)”. She says, "I strongly believe that the taste of any dish depends on the distinctive touch of the person who makes it. I can vouch that the same dish prepared by two different individuals can taste as different as chalk and cheese."
