She doesn’t consider herself fair and says she falls in “the tanned category”. “I don’t consider myself fair. I think I am in the tanned category. I don’t think we are fairness driven. We have some actresses and models who are really dusky and gorgeous, and I truly believe skin colour doesn’t matter,” said Ileana.

“I feel being healthy is beautiful and being happy is beautiful. That’s what I endorse,” added Ileana.
