Sunny Leone set to premiere web series on her life despite objection

There have been objections to the usage of 'Kaur' in the title of the series - Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story of Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone is ready to tell her story through Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story of Sunny Leone despite the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) having issues with the usage of 'Kaur' in the title of the web series.

According to a report, SGPC has objected to the use of 'Kaur' in the title of the web series which will premiere on Zee5 on July 16. Diljit Singh Bedi, SGPC's additional secretary and spokesperson, had said that the usage would hurt Sikh sentiments as Sunny did not follow the teachings of the Sikh Gurus. Hence, she had no right to use the title 'Kaur'.

The actor refused to comment on the issue, and simply tweeted a confirmation of the series.

The former adult film actor shot to fame in India when she entered the Bigg Boss house as a contestant in 2011. She made her Bollywood debut with Jism 2 in 2012.

Sunny had earlier said: "Initially, my answer (to a show on her life) was that I wasn't sure. But once I started hearing about what the director and the production house wanted, I started having an interest in it."

On what the audience should expect from the show, the Indo-Canadian actor had said: "The unexpected. This is a part of my life story and not necessarily the journey you are expecting to see."
