Where were these people, with their moral codes and ethics, when Sanju shamelessly bragged that he has slept with 350 women?
Why?
Just Because she has exercised her right to choose her profession as a Pornstar? Or She’s a hardworking woman who has always stood by her decisions.?
Where were these people, with their moral codes and ethics, when Sanju shamelessly bragged that he has slept with 350 women?

If someman out on parole for long had claimed that he has slept with 305 women, yes well then a former porn actress can have her biopic! Morals and ethics only for women and doesn't apply for men?— Josheba (@Joshebacardilya) July 16, 2018
People are hypocrites
they can't digest a biopic on pornstar
But will praise an actor on admitting he slept with 350 women.#SunnyLeoneBiopicOnZEE5

However, this trolling isn’t the only thing affecting Leone’s biopic. The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has objected to the use of ‘Kaur’ in the title of the film. According to TOI, DSGMC’s general secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa said, “To use it for the Shake of publicity stunt and depict the porn life of a celebrity is derogatory for Sikhs across the world.”
He even wrote a letter to Essel Group Chairman Subhash Chandra, asking him to withdraw ‘Kaur’ from the title.
I vehemently oppose title of @SunnyLeone biopic series which is releasing on @ZEE5India tomorrow for the name ‘Kaur’ in its title hurts Sikh sentiments blatantly

Yo Yo Honey Singh can promote rape in his songs and still keep 'Singh' title but Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee says Sunny Leone biopic can't refer to 'Kaur' title because, you know, porn, chhi chhi! https://t.co/s6T7yVSm6s

Not being a hypocrite,
Either I would go for sanju and #SunnyLeoneBiopicOnZEE5 both or I would rather dislike both.
Our India has so many other idols to make biopics on, which surely will motivate people than biopics druggist and porn stars.Disagree?
Please ignore then.— bhatakti aatma 👻🌚 (@jiya_paul2) July 17, 2018
The opposition to Sunny Leone’s biopic shows just how much India values its questionable morals and ethics over individuals, especially in the case of women.
