Sunny Leone Shuts Them Up!
CineBlitz|January 2017

For everyone who pulled her down, Sunny Leone has one thing to say - ‘Laila, main Laila!’ …

Sunny Leone Shuts Them Up!

In keeping with the tradition of rehashing old Hindi films, you have managed to snag the biggest. RAEES and ‘Laila…’ are clearly the chart busters of the season. How familiar are you with the Hindi film numbers of yore which are coming back in vogue?

Growing up in my household, I might not have known the production house or the actors or even remember the songs but for us, a Bollywood film was a family thing. We would order pizzas, push over the coffee table, grab our blankets and pillows and gather together to watch the film. That’s what Bollywood means to me. I am more fluent in Punjabi - Hindi I wouldn’t understand as well - but I remember my father singing ‘Mehbooba… Mehbooba’ when my mother was really mad at him. It usually used to be one song or another. It was silly but cute. I remember them getting into arguments over Madhuri Dixit. My father was a big fan and that kind of worked my mother up. It was too funny.

…and leaving that life aside, you are here dancing alongside Shah Rukh Khan!

It was a surreal experience for me. An amazing moment. While I am glad that I am a part of one of the biggest films this year, I am not just in a song - I am in a song WITH Shah Rukh Khan. I just hope that I live up to the expectations they had in me, that whatever they had envisioned for me comes true. I feel so honoured to be given this opportunity.

What was it like working with Shah Rukh? I know you might be tired answering this one… but please once more, with details. How tough was it to act all unfazed by his presence on the sets?
