Ileana D'Cruz: If one speaks out about the casting couch, it will end their career

Ileana D’Cruz is currently occupied with the promotions of her upcoming film Raid. She recently opened up about actors not willing to speak about sexual harassment. She said, "It might sound cowardly, but I do agree that if one speaks out about the casting couch, it will end their career." she recalled an incident by stating, "Years ago, a junior artiste down South, who was being propositioned by a big producer, sought my advice on how to deal with it. I told her that it’s something that I couldn’t decide for her. It is her decision and that nobody could force it on her. Many people have done it and it’s up to her whether she wants to go ahead and do it or not. As far as exploitation and harassment is concerned, I wouldn’t stand for it."

"Actors in this country are worshiped. So it will take many voices for people to acknowledge that huge stars could have such an ugly side. I can’t watch Kevin Spacey’s show anymore, though I have loved it earlier because he has been accused of harassment. It disgusts me as a person,” she added.


On the personal front, Ileana is rumoured to have been married to her long time beau Andrew Kneebone. Talking about the same, she said to a leading Indian daily, "When Andrew came down for the first time, people saw us at award shows and asked if we were together. I said that I am happy being with him. Then he had to go back for work and there were stories with headlines like, ‘Is there trouble in paradise?’ Frankly, why should anybody be bothered whether there is or isn’t trouble in paradise. I don’t want to talk about my personal life. I do use social media as a gateway into my personal life, but only to a certain extent. When I don’t want to, I pull the blinds down."

Spider-Noir swaps superheroes for smoke-filled mystery

Marvel has spent years expanding its superhero universe, but Spider-Noir takes a noticeably different route. Instead of another glossy modern adventure, the new Prime Video series leans heavily into old-school detective storytelling, pulling viewers into a world of shadows, cigarette smoke and classic noir style.

Led by Nicolas Cage, the series trades skyscraper heroics for trench coats and private investigations. While Cage previously voiced a Spider-Man variant in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, this version is not Peter Parker. Here, he plays Ben Reilly, a former masked hero who once protected New York as The Spider.
