Journalist insults Sunny Leone; Bollywood comes out in support

In a 30-minute-long interview conducted by an Indian journalist, actress Sunny Leone may have faced some of the most insolent questions in her Bollywood career.

But Leone's sheer grace and dignity with which she tackled IBNLive's Bhupendra Chaubey is truly commendable.

Chaubey's attempt to dwell on Leone's past as an adult star and to smear her image was evident.

It seemed as if all the questions were aimed to corner Leone, and yet she managed to keep her cool and answer his questions with dignity and a straight face.

These are some of the statements thrown to Sunny Leone in the interview.

"Are you proud of your past?"

"Do you think Aamir Khan will work with you?"

"I wonder if I'm being morally corrupt by interviewing you"

"In typical Bollywood terms, you're an item girl"

"How many people would aspire to be a p*** star?"

Although Sunny Leone was there to promote her movie 'Mastizaade' it is unclear what Chaubey’s real intentions were.

Gaurav Kapur in his tweet nails it, by saying, "Bhupendra's every word reeks of a dodgy agenda".

Here's how Bollywood and Twitterati reacted to the interview:
