Sunny Leone
Sunny Leone`s magnetic presence and extraordinary journey make her the most talked-about, captivating hearts nationwide and beyond. From Bigg Boss to Cannes, she`s a true phenomenon. In our latest Sit With Hitlist episode, the Kennedy star bares her soul, sharing her experiences of growing up in a conservative Punjabi home, where every step was under a microscope. She delves into her thoughts on the existing diaspora and how her inspiring journey continues to spark conversations worldwide.
Sunny reflected on her journey from a young girl with dreams to becoming a prominent Bollywood actress. Asked if she ever imagined being in the movies she watched, Sunny shared, "No, I was more concerned with growing up in a typical Punjabi home where I wasn`t allowed to wear a short skirt. I used to wonder why I couldn`t wear one when I saw others doing it. We were in Canada at that time, I go how come she is allowed to do it and I am not. It was like `chup kar, thappad milegi`... But those were the concerns at that age; Bollywood wasn`t as pervasive in our lives back then like it is now."
