Sunny Leone opens up about her career and trolls
Recalling the initial years of her career in the adult entertainment industry, Sunny revealed that she was skeptical about moving to India and working in Bollywood due to the amount of death threats she had been receiving. “In the beginning of my career, I received so much hate mail and death threats and all sorts of crazy things when I first came into the adult entertainment industry that I said there is no way I will ever go to India as Sunny Leone because they are so angry at me,” Sunny Leone said in an interview to Galatta Plus.
The Jism 2 actress further explained that she had been facing hate since the age of 19-20, which affected her greatly, and being alone made things even harder. “It wasn’t like I had someone to guide me, or speak to about these things saying ‘it’s okay, relax, don’t worry about haters, there are so many out there’. That was my first encounter with trolls and people talking all sorts of bad things,” she said.
