Bollywood actress Sunny Leone recently had to face some police action after a man complaint was registered against her alleging she accepted ₹29 lakh to participate in two programmes in Kochi but failed to turn up. Sunny who had been shooting for the reality show MTV Spiltsvilla was interrogated by the Kerela Crime Branch.
Sunny on the cheating case accusations narrated her side of the story and said, "Half information is as dangerous as misreporting. And this is yet another case of the same. I want to set the record straight. As an artiste, work is worship for me. I was nothing but gracious, understanding even moving my schedule multiple times over the organisers. But they wouldn’t commit to set date. It is customary that to lock an actor’s time, an advance has to be paid upfront, which wasn’t done till the nth hour. I There’s absolutely no chance that if I have set a date and time for an event, I wouldn’t show up. But due to a lack of timely payment from their end coupled with the fact that they dilly-dallied on finalising the date, I bowed out. I have other commitments in Poovar."

"These are testing times and we have been shooting round the clock, putting ourselves at risk, to make sure the industry is back on its feet. Such slanderous claims and unethical behaviour on part of the event co-ordinators are deeply hurtful and unsolicited. I have already given the statement to the investigating officers and they are investigating on the co-ordinators as well. Let the law take its course," added Sunny.
