Actress Ileana D'Cruz has given fans a warm glimpse into her pregnancy process as she gears up to welcome her second child with husband Michael Dolan.
Sharing on her Instagram Stories, Ileana posted a touching black and white photo of herself with a friend. In the image, the two ladies, both clearly pregnant, stand facing each other with bright smiles.
Their bulging baby bumps are obviously exposed as they hug affectionately with hands on hips. Ileana is wearing a shiny black dress, while her friend dons a light-colored, tight-fitting dress.
Captioning the photo just "Bump buddies," Ileana beamed with happiness as she shared this moment of special bonding with her friend.
The actress had subtly hinted at her second pregnancy earlier in January, when she shared a New Year’s video that sparked speculation.

In August, she happily welcomed her newborn to the world, posting, "No words could explain how happy we are to welcome our darling boy to the world. Heart's beyond full."
Professionally, Ileana was last appeared in the romantic comedy Do Aur Do Pyaar, which is directed by Shirsha Guha Thakurta. Vidya Balan, Pratik Gandhi, and Sendhil Ramamurthy also appear in prominent roles in the film.
