Initially, when Sunny was approached to participate in the reality show Bigg Boss, she was hesitant because she believed that people in India would hate her due to her background in adult entertainment. However, the makers of the show persisted, and she eventually agreed to be a part of it. As the weeks went by on the show, Sunny noticed that something positive must be happening for her. She was on Bigg Boss for about seven weeks when she was offered a film opportunity.

Sunny mentioned that people started relating to her as a person during her time on the show. They saw her performing everyday tasks, such as cooking and cleaning, which made them connect with her on a personal level. This led to a disconnection between the perception of her as “Sunny Leone from the adult entertainment industry” and the person they saw on Bigg Boss.

Despite the positive response from the audience, Sunny faced challenges along the way. She mentioned encountering “not-so-nice articles” and experiencing hate from certain quarters. These hurdles and negativity were part of her journey as she made her way into the mainstream film industry.

Sunny Leone’s openness about her struggles highlights the difficulties faced by individuals trying to transition from one industry to another. Her story also showcases the power of personal connection and how it can change people’s perceptions.
