Sunny Leone's transition from the adult film industry to Bollywood is applaudable. She appeared in 'Bigg Boss 5' and then made her Bollywood debut with the 2012 film 'Jism 2'. Post that, she appeared in several movies and dance numbers. In 2016, Sunny gave an interview that grabbed the headlines. The interview was taken by TV journalist Bhupendra Chaubey. Chaubey received criticism for asking some really uncomfortable questions to Sunny. But the actress was praised for dealing with it with grace and dignity. 

In a recent interview, Sunny Leone revealed that post the interview, several Bollywood celebs including Aamir Khan reached out to her. The 'Laal Singh Chaddha' actor personally reached out to her to tell that he would indeed be open to working with her.

She told Mid-Day, “There were a few people who heard about the interview or saw it and got that cringe and reached out to say ‘hello,’ which was really nice. Aamir Khan called me, Mr Anil Kapoor was one of them, I think Hrithik Roshan also called me, Sonam Kapoor as well. There were a few people, and all of them just said things like, ‘Proud of you’ and ‘Stay strong’.”

On trolls and hate comments on social media, Sunny said that she doesn’t deal with it and added, "If you pull all the layers of the cards I have up then of course, it hurts my feelings because you don’t want people to say such rude, nasty things but for the most part, I don’t pay attention. I have broken it down as to — they don’t know me, I don’t know them. They are completely entitled to their opinion and I just leave it at that… I can’t take what they say seriously because maybe they don’t take themselves seriously, maybe they are so angry with their lives. They are unhappy people, they have to say something bad about someone else.”

On the work front, Sunny was last seen in Anurag Kashyap's 'Kennedy' also starring Rahul Bhat. The film premiered at the 75th Cannes Film Festival.
