She has completed nearly half a decade in the film industry but actor Sunny Leone (left) says she finds the tag of being a “star” highly uncomforta­ble.

The actor first came into limelight after appearing in reality show Bigg Boss in 2011, before bagging her Bollywood debut the following year in Jism 2 (2012).

Sunny went on to work in several films including with actors like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar.

“I don’t know what it feels like to be a star. I don’t see myself as one. I might have had success, which I worked really hard for, but I don’t see myself the way people see me. I always find it really uncomforta­ble,” Sunny said.

“I can’t see myself as someone who is supposedly in a privileged situation owing to their work. I just see people as a whole and I don’t see myself as anything more or less,” the 35-year-old actor added.

Though, Sunny has remained the most searched personalit­y online in India in the past few years, her films off lately have failed at the box office.

Sunny said sometimes filmmakers promise her a wonderful film, but the final result is nothing but saddening. “There have been a few situations where what happens is, some people sell me the moon and the stars and then when you see what they’ve done is sad. It takes me a long time to adjust,” she said.

This year, the actor featured in three releases — Mastizaade, One Night Stand and Beiimaan Love but none of them could do well at the box office.
