Aamir Khan wants to work with Sunny Leone. Twitter overwhelmed
Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan came out in support of actress Sunny Leone, who was at the receiving end of harsh questions about her professional choices in a TV interview.
During the TV interview with CNN IBN anchor Bhupendra Chaubey, the actress was asked that while she would like to work with Aamir Khan, would the actor like to work with her.
Sunny faced it sportingly, and it is this spirit that has impressed Aamir.
Aamir's reaction:
I think Sunny conductd herself wid a lot of grace & dignity.I wish I cud hav said the same abt the interviewer (1/2) https://t.co/TDDHOlbOUL

Most of the critique of the Bhupendra Chaubey interview with Sunny Leone has centred on his grating, and very unsubtle, need to call Sunny out on her porn past. Writing for this website, for instance, Vivek Surendran said: "Chaubey, to everyone's surprise, joined the brigade of those people I hinted at earlier, the ones who repeatedly like to dig up dirt from someone's past and try to make them feel bad about it, but fail miserably."
I am not sure I fully understand. What exactly is the critique? Do we look upon Sunny Leone as someone who did something wrong in her past and, ergo, are we chiding Chaubey for raking up the muck? Because that would make him a bully, for sure, but it does not address the elephant in the room, an elephant that Chaubey tried riding to much deserved failure on the interview.
