New Year’s is round the block and people are getting psyched up about which NYE party will they attend to. But, in case you were looking forward to attending the one in Bengaluru, where Sunny Leone was about to perform, then we have a sad bit of news for you.

Sunny Leone has refused to perform at the Bengaluru event, after protesters threatened to commit mass suicide if she was allowed to perform there.

In last week’s news, it was learnt that Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sene, a youth group, protested against the event and demanded cancellation of it. The reason they cited was an assault on their culture.

A report on India Today quoted the state president of the organisation saying,

“We are against Sunny wearing short clothes. If she wears 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.”

 

Even Home Minister, Ramalinga Reddy denied permission, citing law and order issues. He even had suggested music or Bharatanatyam instead.

After all this, Sunny looked up to the Bengaluru Police to ensure safety of the people and of her own. But when they openly refused, Sunny had no choice but to turn down the deal.

She further had a message for the youth, which makes A LOT of sense.

Tweeple jumped in Sunny’s support and expressed their opinions openly.

1. Anchor and journalist Faye was disappointed, like many.

2. Photographer Madhu Menon lauded for Sunny’s decision of holding safety of all, above anything else.

3. The fact that police openly refused to provide security was the most surprising bit.

4. Comedian Kunal Kamra just didn’t mince his words.

5. It indeed is sad.

And, here we are still shocked over the whole matter. We (like others) are stuck upon the fact that they brought Sunny’s past under the scanner, for an event which had nothing to do with it.

When will people stop seeing Sunny through that veil of misogyny? When, on the other hand, the lady has time and again withheld her stand in the most dignified manner.
