Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story of Sunny Leone
A lot has been written and said about adult star-turned-Bollywood actor Sunny Leone. So much so that her life has now inspired a web series. Helmed by Aditya Datt, web series Karenjit Kaur – The Untold Story of Sunny Leone premiered recently on ZEE5. The pilot of the show, which is 23 minutes long, is melodramatic. Rysa Saujani is convincing and charming as the young Karenjit. In fact, she is the one who dominates the screen in the first episode with her credible performance. There is a scene where Karenjit wants to go for her school dance wearing a brand-new dress. A dress that has not been made by her mother or is a hand-me-down. Deciding not to bother her parents for money, young Karenjit resolves to make enough cash on her own by selling lemonades, painting fences and walking dogs. Sunny hardly takes up much screen time in the pilot of the show, and the times she does grace the screen, the actor performs with appreciable restraint. As far as pilots go, minus a few blotches, this one was a surprisingly smooth ride. Meanwhile ,Akali Dal has made a big noise and asked Sunny Leone either to apologise or face consequences. The Akali Dal doesn`t want to let her use her old name Karenjit Kaur in the above web series. Sunny Leone, however, refuses to apologise or change her old name.
