Sunny Leone who’s quite excited about doing the role of Meena Kumari in the late actress’ biopic is again surrounded by controversies. Recently, the actress faced protest against her participation in a New Year event, ‘Sunny Night in Bengaluru NYE 2018’.
Members of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sene protested against Leone’s performance at the event. According to reports, the protesters not only burnt her posters but condemned her programmes as an assault on Karnataka’s culture. They also reportedly threatened to commit mass suicide if she is allowed to perform on the stage at the event.
The report also quoted a senior police official who said that they are currently awaiting the directions from the government. However, Home Minister and other senior officials have stated that the actress should not be given permission to perform at the event.
Harish, the leader of the Pro-Kannada activists, told Indian Express, “We are against Sunny wearing short clothes. If she wears a saree and takes part in the event, even we’ll go watch her. Sunny doesn’t have a good past. We shouldn’t be encouraging such people. We will not hesitate to commit suicide on December 31.”
Reacting to the violent protests, the organiser said, “I don’t know what the protestors are expecting; this is a family show where the culture of the state won’t be disturbed.” Well, New Year is just round the corner, till then all we can do is wait and watch how things roll.
