Sunny Leone recently expressed her frustration over being repeatedly labeled as an adult film star in an interview with Galatta India. The actress, who has successfully transitioned into mainstream Hindi cinema, described the continued focus on her past profession as “bothersome.”
Reflecting on her initial years in India, Leone remarked, “In my initial time being here in India, it is expected of the certain words or tag people use for you. That is completely normal. I think it’s more bothersome now that we are still talking about it. Come on! It’s been 13 years now since I have been here. If you don’t let it go, how do we all move forward?”
Sunny Leone emphasised that the conversation has grown stale and irrelevant. “So, it is high time. It is not a conversation piece which is interesting anymore. It’s something you know has happened in my life. We all have done a lot of work and grown in our own ways. I think it’s odd now that a publication uses it for traction,” she added.
Aside from her career reflections, Leone shared a touching message for her husband, Daniel Weber, on their 13th wedding anniversary in April. She wrote on social media, “We made a commitment in front of God and promised to be together not only in the good times but the really bad ones as well. God has blessed us and our family with so much love! And I hope we continue this path hand in hand forever baby love. Daniel Weber, Happy Anniversary.”
Sunny Leone first gained widespread recognition in India with her appearance on the reality show Bigg Boss Season 5. She has since featured in several Bollywood films, including Jism 2, Hate Story 2, Ragini MMS 2, and Ek Paheli Leela. Most recently, Leone starred in Anurag Kashyap’s Kennedy, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival last year. The film received a seven-minute standing ovation during its midnight screening, marking another significant milestone in her career.
Leone’s journey from her past to her present achievements in the entertainment industry underscores her resilience and growth, urging the media and public to acknowledge her evolution beyond outdated tags.
