A follower on the Instagram asked Ileana if she ever has faced any flak for having an awkward body, correcting that person, the actress gave an epic reply by saying, “Firstly I don’t have any awkward body type. Nobody does. Secondly, yes I have been criticised for my body type. But I am trying to learn to love myself for who I am and not try to conform to someone else’s ideals.”
