On why she chose not to walk out despite the questions being insensitive:
Sunny chose to gracefully hold her ground as she thought, "He (the interviewer) has questions, he has his own sensibilities and his own style of interviewing. But all these questions have been asked to me many times before. It was just the style that was different."

On what she thinks about Bollywood celebrities supporting her, after having shunned her for most of her time in the industry:
The film fraternity has shown Sunny massive support but when asked if she feels a sense of belonging now, she said that she is waiting for the dust to settle and find out who actually sticks around after the controversy dies down.
