Adult film star-turned-actress Sunny Leone doesn’t see ‘objectification’ as a bad word, and says that everyone objectifies things and people to sell the product they wish to sell.
In an interview with BBC World News, Sunny, who was recently named in the BBC 100 Women list 2016, talked about working in the Indian film industry and more, read a statement.
Does the Indian film industry commodifies or objectifies a woman more than they do men?
“I don’t know. I objectify men all the time. Just kidding! Maybe not so much kidding but I don’t see the word ‘objectification’ as a bad word. We all objectify things and products and people to sell the product we wish to sell. For me sometimes, it is selling brand ‘Sunny Leone.’ For a film, it’s selling the name with the film,” said Sunny, who is now celebrating her fifth year anniversary in Bollywood.
Talking about her participation in the controversial reality TV show Bigg Boss in 2011, Sunny, who is of Indo-Canadian origin, said: “The company came to me, came to my husband actually, and said there’s a show, it’s like Big Brother.”
