Actor Ileana D’Cruz has opened up about why she prefers to away from 'pap culture' and said that it did not work for her.

Talking about her disappearing act, Ileana told to the  Times of India, "I hate it when people say that! I don’t vanish! I am right here. You don’t see me getting papped, because I don’t share my whereabouts."

She further said: "I did get the taste of the pap culture a while ago, but I realised it wasn’t meant for me. It’s not who I am, and I think it’s completely okay to be different. I have been working and have finished shooting a lot of good work. So, yes, I have been doing good work, but doing it very quietly with my head down."

When she was asked if she is scared of being overlooked by filmmakers because of rarely makes public appearances, she repiled, "I would be lying if I said, ‘Oh, I don’t think about it’. Of course, I do. I even gave it a shot. I tried doing the whole PR thing, thinking I needed to be seen more. But at the end of the day, I didn’t really see too much of a difference. "

The Phata Poster Nikhla Hero actress continued: "The It’s all about the personal equation you share with people (filmmakers). Producers and directors like to know their actors a little more. So, I like meeting people who are like-minded and who I want to work with."

"That’s the route I have taken. When I am working, that becomes my priority, and once I am done with it, I switch off for a bit and spend time with my family. I feel that’s a good balance to have because I am not someone who can just work 24/7," she added.

Ileana began her Bollywood career with the film Barfi in 2012 and then she appear in films such as Phata Poster Nikla Hero, Main Tera Hero, and Rustom.
