Ileana will be enrolling for an underwater diving course soon so that she can become a certified diver.”

Talking about it, Ileana says, “I’m a complete water baby. But as much as I love the water, I’ve a fear of the sea and I imagine the worst. I blame the Jaws (movie series) for it (laughs). I hope I can get over my fear by trying scuba diving, it’s supposed to be absolutely magical and really relaxing. I hope I can do it.”
