film
Ninnindale
opposite
Puneet
Rajkumar,
Erica
told
TOI,
"I
have
been
told
I
look
like
Ileana
many
times.
We
met
in
Dubai
briefly,
and
I
didn't
think
we
look
alike
at
all.
In
photographs,
there
are
a
couple
of
profile
pictures
that
probably
look
a
bit
similar,
but
otherwise,
there
is
no
similarity
whatsoever."

she
is
Ileana's
sister.
She
told
New
Indian
Express,
"People
even
ask
me
if
I
am
Ileana's
sister.
I
take
the
comparisons
as
compliment
since
Ileana
is
a
famous
star."

She
further
said,

want

Erica!
I
hope
that
once
my
three
Tamil
films
release,
people
will
see
me
for
what
I
am
and
stop
comparing
me
with
anyone
else."
