Sunny Leone, who made her debut in Tamil with an item song in "Vadacurry", was praised for the way she handled an interview full of distasteful questions a few days ago. She was appreciated by many celebrities and now, South actresses Trisha Krishnan and Shruti Haasan have applauded the 34-year-old.
Appreciating Sunny Leone, Trisha Krishnan tweeted, "New found respect after watching @SunnyLeone on the IBN hotseat. So much grace n dignity."
Shruti Haasan also took to Twitter to lend her support to Sunny Leone as she posted, "Well done @SunnyLeone keeping it together in the face of opinionated misguided questions #mortifyingjournalism" The former adult actress was moved by her message and thanked Shruti Haasan by posting, "Thank you so much for saying that. Xoxo."
Sunny Leone had an interview with a leading news channel recently as part of movie promotions of her "Mastizaade". The interviewer repeatedly asked questions related to her past, her career as a porn actress, but she responded to all the questions with wit and poise, garnering applause from celebrities.
The Indo-Canadian actress was a big name in the porn industry before she entered India with reality show "Bigg Boss". Subsequently, Sunny Leone made her Bollywood debut in Mahesh Bhatt directorial "Jism 2". Since then, non-stop offers have been pouring in for the actress.
