EXCLUSIVE: Sunny Leone reveals how the Chaubey interview broke her: It took me a long time to snap out

Sunny Leone is the girl who came and conquered her haters but in a classy manner. The actress faced a lot of criticism in her initial days in Bollywood. But the Indo Canadian beauty faced criticism head-on. She soon won over her fans and others with her dedication to her work.

During an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Sunny Leone opened up on facing racism, social judgements and more. She also opened up on the famous Chaubey interview and how it affected her.

Sunny said, “My first reaction is not to have a reaction. But later on of course it affects you. I would not be human if it did not affect me. The problem is that when you are working in a team you cannot complain to a lot of people. Who you are gonna talk to as it is very limited. And when you do talk to someone they just tell you that’s it and you just have to get over it. You don’t feel good there is literally not a lot of people you can speak to about how you are feeling. on how someone treated you.”

“So there is this one incident that really really affected me. It was on multiple levels that it affected me. It took me a long time to snap out of it. Then things started shifting and my brain also said that alright it is not going to go away now so might just as well go with it. That is the Chaubey interview. These people hated me or said bad things about me for years and now someone bashes me on television. And now I am ok and now I am accepted. I was the same person before. So great that they recognise that Hey I am a person. But it really did hurt me. But then you know what it is and nothing I can do to change it. So I guess you have you look at it, and thank u for seeing me as a person. Thank you for being nice and coming to my aid which was for the first time.”
