When Ileana D’Cruz revealed how she deals with mother’s guilt

Ileana D’Cruz talked candidly about her comeback performance and how it made her mother feel guilty earlier in an interview with India Today. The diva talked about a specific instance in which she lost control of her emotions while driving with her son. Ileana mentioned how her son Koa cried uncontrollably while in the car’s backseat. As they discussed it, Ileana disclosed:

“It’s very hard. I don’t think mom’s guilt ever really goes away. Just yesterday, I went to visit my mom. I was driving back home and my child was screaming in the back seat. I pulled over at one point, went back to him, held him for a bit, and tried to calm him down, but the minute I put him back in his car seat again, he started to scream. I had to drive with him crying in the back seat for at least 10 minutes before he went to sleep because he was so tired. I got home and I cried.”
