Bollywood bombshell Sunny Leone is famous for many things, some of which unacceptable for the Kannada culture. And “barely clad women performing” is one of those things. The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Yuvasene have raised objection towards Leone performing at a private event scheduled for the New Years Eve in their city and had planned a protest against it at Maurya Circle.The Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) also staged a demonstration and burnt the pictures of Leone. They demanded the cancellation of her programme.

The state president of the pro-Kannada group also acknowledged that it was a private event, but said that didn’t matter. “It’s a private event and the tickets are expensively priced,” he said. “It includes alcohol and other things. Such companies can continue working in the state if they show due respect.” Incidentally, there were no protests or opposition to any of Sunny Leone’s previous visits to the city. Apart from her private visits, the actress visited Bengaluru for movie shootings and has appeared in Sandalwood movies including Luv U Alia, DK, an Indian Kannada satirical film which was directed by Vijay Kampali in 2015.
