Sunny Leone has been on a promotional tour for her next film Mastizaade. In a recent interview by a senior journalist Bhupendra Chaubey of CNN-IBN, Sunny called herself a realist business person. Repeated attempts without grace by the reporter to make Sunny say something he wanted, it was he who was at the receiving end.
The interview was aired on CNN-IBN following which Bollywood stars took to Twitter to express their outrage against the ‘sexist and disgusting’ questions even as they laud her ‘bravery’:
This downright distasteful interview shows d journalists intellect & lack of basic human respect & nothing else.kudos @SunnyLeone

That was literally NOT an interview.. Just hyper opinionated statements with a question mark at the end!!! No Grace? Chivalry? Ridiculous!

He asks the same question for 20minutes. Because she doesn't satisfy him with the response he's looking for.#Respect https://t.co/RkG4B0C5d2

How beautifully u held your own in that stupid interview @SunnyLeone .Some1 should have taught him how to respect a woman when he was a kid.

As a live broadcaster, you must be objective & rid yourself of all bias before an interview. Bhupendra's every word reeks of a dodgy agenda.

Full marks to Sunny Leone for the grace she showed. Most would've walked out of that cringe fest of an interview.
