Salman Khan claims not to have seen her work. The Bigg Boss 5 website describes her as an adult film star (the term has an altogether different meaning in
Why
is the woman with anatomical augmentations, rated by lad-mag Maxim as one of the world's top 12 porn
stars in 2010, being so coy about her line of work? She has even let it be
known that she wishes to go back to the profession she abandoned - paediatric
nursing - to become a Penthouse Pet of the Month and launch herself as an XXX-
rated porn star with side businesses such as having a sex toy for men moulded
out of her vagina and promoting the Sunny Leone Exciter vibrator.
That
would be quite a comedown for a porn star who had more than 17 lakh Netizens
glued to her online oral sex education classes. A Google search for Sunny
throws up an 11 million search results in 0.14 seconds! Is Sunny underplaying
her track record in porn because of her ambition to act in a Bollywood film?
Mahesh Bhatt, insisting "there is no truth in the story that we have signed
Sunny Leone for Murder 3," said there was "nothing wrong" on
Sunny's part to "sanitise her image" for a TV reality show.
Ironically,
Sunny first shared her dream to become a Bollywood star at the porn industry's
equivalent of the Oscars, the Adult Video News (AVN) Awards, in 2010. She
was speaking after winning the award for the 'Best All-Girl Group Sex Scene'.
Bhatt pointed out that "the line between a forbidden zone like porn and
mainstream is progressively getting blurred". He said he was keen on
casting her in the 2003 film Kalyug,
but it did not work out. "I have never felt she should not be considered
for mainstream films," he added. "She
is a sweet looking girl." Inside the confession room, Sunny informs Big
Boss she is not afraid to disclose her identity and dares viewers to make their
own judgment about her. "You can call me every name in the book," she
says.
"My
friends and family have already accepted me, so why should I be scared?"
But she's yet to share details of her work with the viewers ofBigg Boss 5.
To figure out why, because Bigg Boss 5 producers are silent on the subject, you’ve
got to rewind to a conversation Sunny Leone has over breakfast with Pooja Bedi
in one of the more recent episodes. Sunny mentions the American television
personality and Paris Hilton’s good friend, Kim Kardashian, and asks Pooja if
she knows what her claim to fame is (referring obviously to the reality television
star’s leaked sex video with R&B singer Ray J).
When
Pooja replies in the affirmative, Sunny asks her with staged innocence if
Indian audiences would accept such a celebrity if she were of Indian origin.
Pooja, whose scant respect for clothes was the only reason why she attracted
notice during her brief flirtation with Bollywood, informs her housemate that
the Indian audience is conservative and may not take kindly to it.
Sunny
and her hosts may be airbrushing her image, but the bisexual star's porn acts
leave very little to the imagination.She
dumped her long-time companion Matt Erikson, a Playboy marketing honcho, to
partnering with an array of leading men of porn, including Tommy Gunn, James
Deen and Voodoo, for movies such as The Dark Side of the Sun, The Other Side of
Sunny, Sunny's Big Adventure and Co- Ed Confidential.
The
ignorance of her housemates about Sunny's antecedents seems a little hard to
believe. Even when Bedi briefly insists that she has "seen Sunny
somewhere" and the porn star replies, "maybe on the Internet",
the other housemates let the matter drop.
They
keep talking about her "innocence", "charm",
"beauty" and "freshness", and even suggest that she may
have a promising career in Bollywood like Katrina Kaif, but they steer clear of
the P-word.
When
Sunny is assigned to learn a sexy dance number, Bedi says her moves, intended
as an act of seduction, need to have more passion, Sunny says: "Usually I
just walk around in high heels and it works. I do not need to dance."
That's the farthest she has revealed about her line of work.
