I’ve been in very low places in life, says Sunny

Lockdown for me is the same as it is for others — it’s not fun at all,” says actor Sunny Leone, who recently flew to the US. Given the spike in the number of Covid-19 cases, she says at this point, safety is priority. “We take this virus to whoever is back home,” she asserts, adding that the new normal is “not easy to get used to”.

Leone feels actors would be skeptical to do scenes that demand being close to one another, until there is a vaccine. She also believes people might be worried to visit theatres. “I definitely think people will watch movies on TV rather than in a theatre. We are going to see more shows and films at home instead of crowded, closed spaces like a theatre, at least for the next one year,” she opines.

With shooting having resumed, Leone feels fewer people on set would enable more efficiency. “You are going to have technicians who are skilled at what they do. Hopefully, there will be more room for people to learn the craft they’re working on,” she shares.

The actor, 39, has seen her share of lows in life, but is grateful to have had some “great people” around. She says, “Just like others, I’ve been in very low places in my life, some crazy things have happened. But I was never diagnosed with depression. Luckily, I have some great people around me and the ability within myself to heal and look past things. Most people who are depressed are usually alone, that’s a sad thing.”
