Ashwini Deshmukh gets Sunny Leone talking on one-night stands, kinky sex, motherhood and more...
Sunny Leone can shame all moralists and guardians of virtue with her unabashed acceptance of who she is. She’s unapologetic about her past, which she has made no attempts to deny or disown. She’s in no hurry to fit into the present by slipping into the garb of hypocrisy. She’s literally comfortable in her skin. There’s no endeavour to suck up to the pseudo commandments of a holier-than-thou society. But yes, she’s a woman in transition. From an actor of adult films abroad, she’s carving a new identity back home bit by bit. Yet, she’s game to be on the hotseat and take barbs with dignity. She’s sporting enough not to let the gibes flip her calm demeanour. And she does it without hysteria and with an earthy grace. Because earthy she is. In her love for her deceased parents, in her devotion to her husband, in her desire to nestle a family of her own. Read on to know about an actor who’s actually the hero of her life… a blockbuster in progress…
You were extremely successful in the adult industry abroad. What attracted you to the Hindi film industry?
I was already over before Bigg Boss came to me. I had reached a stage from where there was nowhere to go. It was not something I wanted to do anymore. It’s weird how certain things end up in your lap. At first, I didn’t want to do Bigg Boss, I was scared. I used to get so many hate mails from the Indian community; I didn’t want to go through that again. But I feared I’d regret not taking up this opportunity. I didn’t know that within fraction of seconds, my whole world was going to change. It was a defining moment.
So you never aimed for Hindi movies...
