While promoting Kennedy, Sunny Leone recalled how people mocked her past and stereotyped her as an eye-candy in films.
Sunny Leone is elated as she and her team of the latest-released film, Kennedy, received a 7-minute standing ovation at Cannes Film Festival. The film premiered in the Midnight Screenings section of the festival in the Grand Theatre Lumiere. While promoting the film at the festival, Sunny interacted with Forbes India and stated how she overcome mean comments over the years.
In the conversation, Sunny recalled how people mocked her past and how with Kennedy, things are different for her. "I believe that your actions are louder than your words. All those people who said, 'You can’t do this, or you’re not good enough, or you know you are just Sunny Leone, the porn star, you are just this glamour quotient that we’ve added,' all of these different comments that have gone on for so many years. You can’t say that this time. You can’t just say Sunny Leone is in this film because of who she is and what her past was.”

Sunny further revealed how she used to hide her pain after getting affected by mean comments. The actress stated that the people don’t always know how their comments or what they say or people who write these articles that are just nasty, or people think the worst of you. Sunny said, "You hide behind your smile going, ‘No, it’s okay, I’m going to push past this’ but deep down inside it does hurt your feelings and it does affect you but as an entertainer, you are not allowed to show that."
