Ileana D’Cruz, who stepped into Bollywood with superhit film Barfi, is on cloud nine! It is known to everyone that Barfi has been sent as Oscar entry from India and Ileana is just proud to be part of the team and says it was an honour and privilege and a matter of pride to get an official entry to the Oscars.

"Barfi has received an overwhelming response from the audience and the critics. The news of being selected as India's entry to the Oscars is an honour and a privilege and a matter of pride for the Barfi team," Ileana's spokesperson told the sources.

The Film Federation of India (FFI) shortlisted some critically acclaimed films, including Paan Singh Tomar and Kahaani, but Barfi was selected to represent India in the Best Foreign Language Film category. So far in the history of Indian cinema, only three Bollywood films, including Mehboob Khan's Mother India (1957), Mira Nair's Salaam Bombay (1988) and Ashutosh Gowariker's Lagaan (2001), have made it to the nomination stage.

Directed by Anurag Basu, Barfi features Ranbir Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra and Ileana D'Cruz among others! Way to go, Barfi team!
