'I don't want people to feel sorry for me'

'I don't believe in focusing on the bad things that have happened in my life.

- 

Sunny Leone is all set to play a secret agent in Vikram Bhatt's action-packed dhamaka, Anamika.

This is a Sunny who kicks and punches, pummels, plots and plans. And it's obvious that she is excited to debut in a new genre.

In a free-wheeling interview with the actress says, “I have had some gun training in the past because I thought it was important to understand how a real gun fires, how heavy it is, what it feels like. Holding a real gun can be scary!”

What is it that you want from this year, personally and professionally?

Definitely not another lockdown!

I want the Russian-Ukraine war to end. Professionally, I believe that everything happens for a reason so I just have to keep pushing forward.

There are so many different things happening, if one doesn't work out, you move to another and try to make that work.

Of course, it hurts, but I am more worried about my children than myself.

On International Women's Day, how would you review your journey through Bollywood which has been perceived as a male-dominated, sexist, quick-to-stereotype film industry?

I do not believe in focusing on the bad things that have happened in my life, to women and human beings in general.

We should instead reflect on how we overcame challenges and roadblocks, understood the psychology behind the behaviour of certain people, and how to work on ourselves so we can be the best 'me' possible.

You look so convincing wielding a gun in the Web series Anamika that one wonders if you have had any prior training.

Yes, I have had some gun training in the past because I thought it was important to understand how a real gun fires, how heavy it is, what it feels like.

Holding a real gun can be scary!

I've had some fight training too.
