'At any age, you can be successful or start your career'
Speaking about how the ageist nature of showbiz is passé, Sunny Leone said, “That’s something that’s part of the entertainment industry now. At literally any age, you can be successful or start your career. It just depends on how you want to start it and how far you can go.”
She added, “There aren’t any time limits right now unlike what it was 10-15 years ago when people could say things like, ‘Uska age ho gaya (This person is finished), she shouldn’t be working anymore’. That’s past now. Even the people, who were working a long time ago are coming back and shooting these amazing shows and they’re these amazing actors and actresses. Those people, who thought that their time is over are hitting their prime now.”
Sunny Leone on doing 'smaller parts' now
In the same interview, Sunny also opened up about how being a star is no longer a priority for her. She said she no longer wants to be the 'star of a movie' and would rather have a smaller part that has a meaning and purpose than an entire film based on her name, which isn’t very good. Sunny said Kennedy was like that and her next film Quotation Gang with Jackie Shroff is another film, which isn’t solely based on her name. She said ‘it’s a smaller part but it’s great’ for her.
