I am who I am," says Sunny Leone. The Indo-Canadian porn star, the latest to be evicted from reality show Bigg Boss 5, says she did not try and use the platform to promote her "business".
It was reported that the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC) cautioned channel Colors to ensure that Leone does not use the show to her advantage, following complaints over her appearance on the show.
But the 30-year-old is nonchalant.
"I don't know what's being going on ever since I am inside the Bigg Boss house. I just know who I am, and the world knows who I am, and what I do...what is my business. My name will always be associated with porn. But there was never any link-up with my website and Bigg Boss 5," Leone said.
People may have known her for different reasons, but Leone, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, gave the Indian audience a glimpse into her other side.
"This show was so much fun! Bigg Boss kept giving me dancing tasks one after the other. So my dancing skills are better, especially some Bollywood moves."
"Also, week by week, my Hindi kept improving. But I was happiest about learning how to cook a variety of Indian food," she said.
Leone's big victory has been in the form of a movie offer from Mahesh Bhatt for Jism 2.
"I am really very excited about working with Mahesh Bhatt. He has told me a bit about the first instalment of the film, and said how it was very bold, controversial, and of course edgy. So, yes, I am excited about Bollywood," said Leone.
