Sunny said the news eventually spread among relatives, leaving her parents to deal with social criticism and emotional stress. She recalled that both her mother and father struggled with the situation, with her father often becoming emotional.
She added that her parents chose not to force her to quit because they feared it might push her further away. Over time, many relatives distanced themselves from the family because of her career.
Despite the backlash, Sunny remained firm in her decision. She said she never regretted choosing the profession and believed it had given her the financial freedom she wanted. Since making her Bollywood debut with Jism 2 in 2012, she has built a successful career in films and television, appearing in movies such as Ragini MMS 2, Ek Paheli Leela, Mastizaade, One Night Stand and Kennedy. She also became widely known for popular songs including Baby Doll, Desi Look and Laila Main Laila.
