It’s not me they want to know, it’s someone else: Sunny Leone on Bollywood

The 'Baby Doll' diva faced discrimination recently at an award function

Sunny Leone, in a candid TV interview opened up on the struggles she faced while settling into the film industry, reports PinkVilla.

The Baby Doll diva spoke about the hostile vibes hurled at her from people within the industry and the unfriendly demeanour she was subjected to. When asked if she was finally able to make some real friends, Leone retorted, "Probably not, I made really nice friends with people that I have worked with, and I know it sounds weird but I only meet people when I’m working with them."

"I am not a part of any social group or club and what I find is that people get so weird and shallow that it’s not me that they want to know, it’s someone else,” she added.



The Jism 2 star went on to talk about how she was treated, being a newcomer in Bollywood. “I was new in the industry then and when a new person comes in and especially when they think it’s shady or who is this person and where does she come from, there is some sense of curiosity," she said.

She revealed that people were so disdainful towards her; no one was willing to accompany her on stage in an award function because of the fretted disgrace it might potentially cause them.

"Also, at that moment there were probably many women who didn’t like me. I’m okay with that but it was weird to sit there, and wait for someone to turn up and go with me on stage,” the actor solemnly confessed.



Leone recently adopted a baby girl who she lovingly named Nisha. Sharing her experiences on motherhood the star said, “We try to keep her as happy as we can and she has a fixed schedule. Earlier, she knew only Marathi but now she can understand English and we converse with her in English only.”

“I make notes of her progress. She now knows 18 words and when we put her in the shower, she is reluctant to come out of it,” the doting mother exclaimed.
