Open Chest Power Series Interview With Sunny Leone: Part One
I had the opportunity of sitting and chatting at length with the phenomenon known as Sunny Leone during a recent trip to the U.S., where she walked as the first Bollywood actress at New York Fashion Week for ace couturier Archana Kochhar. Wearing jeans and a t-shirt with very little makeup, she was a far cry from the Bollywood siren we all know and love (or hate depending on who you ask), when we met for our interview, and for me, a breath of fresh air to see the woman behind India’s most provocative brand.
In part one of this two-part series on the Canadian-born Sikh girl who rose to being India’s most Googled celebrity, I structured my questions in the hopes that she would direct the flow of the conversation so I could tap into the mindset of one of the most progressive South Asian women of our time. THAT’s the story I wanted to tell and THAT’s the story she told!
