Sunny Leone often finds herself in films which feature her as a seductress, which more often than not entail performing intimate scenes with co-stars.
However, on Wednesday, multiple online news outlets went into a tizzy declaring that the Bollywood actress, who stars in the recently released One Night Stand, has decided to add a 'no-kissing' policy in her contract. What made the story fishy was the fact that it mentioned that she would get intimate with her co-stars as long as it didn't involve kissing them.
Most news outlets lost their mind over this. After all, how could a former adult star get fussy about a kiss, right?
Just in case the message wasn't clear enough, India Today sent out a cautionary warning to any filmmaker still thinking about shooting kissing scenes with Leone.
The basis of this was, no, not a comment from Sunny or her husband Daniel Weber (who manages her career), but a comprehensively researched guesstimate derived from Sunny's kiss-free history in Bollywood, as noted by this entirely speculative Business Of Cinema piece.
HuffPost India reached out to Daniel Weber, who was bewildered that this news was doing the rounds.
When we asked him if such a clause has indeed been added, he responded via text message, saying, "There is no truth to this all."
Furthermore, he stated, "She is an actor and as far as kissing scenes are concerned, she decides with the director whether to do it or not — like is the case with the rest of the creative process involving her. This is the standard."
