Bollywood gets behind Sunny Leone for handling 'misogynistic' interviewer with grace

Bollywood superstars tweeted in favour of actress Sunny Leone, after she had handled an interviewer, who doled out harsh questions at the actress. Sunny Leone did not lose it or throw a tantrum but answered all his questions in a friendly and humble manner. And guess what, the Bollywood fraternity came to her rescue and praised her for being nice in the face of crudeness.

An interviewer was not at all empathetic towards the sultry actress, when he kept on repeatedly asking questions about Sunny Leone’s past. The actor also asked repeated questions about how Bollywood’s prominent actors refused to work with her, owing to her controversial past. Sunny however, kept her cool and did not retort in the same manner but politely replied to each and every question thrown at her.

Actor Rishi Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Vishal Dadlani and others tweeted in favour of Leone:-

Very unfair& rude interview with Sunny Leone on CNN IBN.She is taking it on her chin sportingly,obviously in the interest of her coming film

How do you see the Bhupendra Chaubey interview with @SunnyLeone and don’t instantly fall in love with her?

Sad that @bhupendrachaube , a ‘seasoned’ journalist, should conduct such a foolish, patronising, sexist interview. https://t.co/YCDAE1snyf — VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) January 19, 2016
