NEW DELHI: Bollywood actress Sunny Leone appeared in New Delhi on Tuesday for the unveiling of her wax likeness at the city’s Madame Tussauds museum, a symbol of changing cultural mores in a country where celebrity kisses in public constitute front-page news.
The statue represents the Canadian-born, Indian-American actress and entrepreneur’s acceptance by mainstream Indian society even as conservative Indian politicians condemn her past as an adult film star.
Born Karenjit Kaur Vohra to a Sikh Punjabi family, Leone, 37, broke into Bollywood in 2012, starring in the sequel to the hit movie “Jism,” Hindi for “body.”
A string of movies, a documentary and a Netflix biopic have garnered her huge audiences — even as critics have panned her acting abilities.
