Ileana D'Cruz on postpartum depression, her partner Michael: ‘Glad I had a good support system’

Actor Ileana D'Cruz recently opened up about her experience with postpartum depression, emphasizing that it's something one can't fully prepare for. She also mentioned her partner, Michael Dolan in an interview with Times of India.

Ileana said, ‘Postpartum depression is very real, and nothing can prepare you for it. I am glad that I had a good support system at home and a team of doctors who took good care of me. Topics like mom guilt are so real. I remember I was in my room, and I started crying. My partner asked me what was wrong and I told him, 'I know it sounds really stupid, but my son is sleeping in the other room, and I am missing him'. So, there are these intense emotions you go through after having a baby. I still am going through it. I am thankful that Mike (Michael Dolan) is such an amazing partner.’

Ileana also addressed her partner, Michael Dolan, expressing her discomfort when people say negative things about her loved ones.

Speaking specifically about whether she is married to Michael, the actor said, ‘There's so much speculation. Let's just leave it at that. It is nice to have a tiny bit of mystery, right? Well, honestly, I haven't decided how much I want to talk about this part of my life. It comes from a space where previously I talked about my relationship. I didn't like how some people spoke about it back then. I can handle things said about me, but I am not comfortable with people talking rubbish about my partner or my family.’
