While the Bollywood actress Sunny Leone has created an everlasting mark in the film industry with her talent and dedication to the craft, her choices have always created a lot of buzz among fans.

The actress had transitioned from the adult film industry to Bollywood. Therefore, she’s been judged for quite a long time.

Recently, the Splitsvilla X5 host opened up about the tags attached to her and how they have affected her mentally.

In a recent interview with Galatta India, Sunny Leone shared how these things have been affecting her over the years and that people should finally accept her for her work.

Speaking up on being judged by her previous career in pornography, Ragini MMS 2 actress Leone said, “I think that in my initial time being here in India, it is expected of the certain words or tag people use for you. That is completely normal. I think it is more bothersome now that we are still talking about it.”

Highlighting that it is finally time for people to let go of her past, she said, “Come on! It’s been 13 years now since I have been here. If you don’t let it go, how do we all move forward? So it is high time. It is not a conversation piece that is exciting anymore.
