Actress Ileana D'Cruz, who gave birth to her son in August while living alone, said on Friday that she is not a single parent and posted a photo of her partner during an Instagram #AskMeAnything session.

Ileana, 37, said, "I'm not," in response to a fan's question regarding her experience raising her child alone. For the first time since announcing her pregnancy around this time last year, she also shared a picture of her boyfriend. In the picture, Ileana and her companion are grinning and looking at each other.

Ileana had shared a post for her partner earlier in the year. And this beautiful man has been my support on the days I fail to treat myself with kindness. When he sensed that I was about to break, he hugged me. And dabs away the tears. And makes me smile with silly jokes. or simply gives me a hug when he realizes that's what I need right then. And nothing seems to be as difficult as it once did.

In Friday's #AskMeAnything session, a fan inquired about Ileana's emotions upon seeing her child for the first time and if her mother provided her any support at that moment. In response, Ileana said that her mother had supported her "the entire process of pregnancy, delivery, and motherhood." "Having her is indeed a blessing for me. When it comes to the first time you see your child, nothing really prepares you. She added, "It was just so breathtakingly beautiful."

Ileana went on to write about how she felt a year ago when she discovered she was pregnant. "I discovered my pregnancy almost exactly a year ago, and it was the most bizarre, intensely emotional moment," she wrote. She continued by stating that it is still "surreal" for her to hold her son in her arms.

Ileana shared the news of her newborn boy's arrival on Instagram on August 5 with the statement, "No words could explain how happy we are to welcome our darling boy to the world." Hearts overflowing with love.

The parts that Ileana has played in movies like Barfi!, Phata Poster Nikla Hero, and Happy Ending have made her most famous. The actress's upcoming project is the Randeep Hooda-starring movie Unfair and Lovely.
