Former adult film star Sunny Leone's life is all set to become a film titled Karenjit Kaur - The Untold Story of Sunny Leone. The film will document the actress' life from being a little girl to becoming an adult film star and later to a popular Bollywood actress.
Leone was born into a middle class Sikh family in Canada and she received a lot of hate mails and criticism for her choice to become an adult film star.
"Many people have the misconception that people started criticizing me when I decided to come to India, but that is not true," she told IANS in an interview. "I started getting hate mails and criticism when I was around 21 years old. So it has nothing to do with the country, but society in general. That was the first time I faced real hatred," said the mother of three.
Talking about how her family reacted to her choices, Leone said there was a moment when she was emotionally vulnerable. But she loves the way her life has turned out to be.
"Reverse psychology always happens and that was definitely the case with me and my parents," she said regarding how her family reacted to the hate she received. "They were thinking that if they forcefully stop me, I might just gain more curiosity and then I might not return from that world.
"Of course, I went to a different direction that my parents did not want me to... But I want to say that I love my life the way it is and everything happens for a reason. I have no complaints."
Leone came to India with Bigg Boss, a reality show, following which she landed a role in Bollywood flick Jism 2. Since then, Leone has appeared in several films such as Ragini MMS2, Ek Paheli Leela, Mastizaade, One Night Stand and Tera Intezaar. Television reality shows she has appeared in include MTV Splitsvilla, Box Cricket League: Season 2 and Man vs. Wild with Sunny Leone.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
