In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Sunny got candid and revealed her disappointment towards the brands, who still judge on the basis of her dark past and do not offer her clothes or make-up products for endorsement. Talking about the same, Sunny said:
“There’s no makeup brand in India who would put me in their ad film. That hurts, you are like ‘I can be just as good as they are’ A clothing brand that won’t give clothes to you to wear at an event because they are like you are not big enough for them. Then what do you do? I created my own makeup line, my own clothing brand. It’s mine. It’s really just about saying ‘you know what? Buzz off, I will just create it and make it all about how I want the world to view my brand’.”
Further in the conversation, Sunny talked about the pain of rejection and shared that many times she had been rejected by movie directors even though she had wanted to work in the film. Sunny can be quoted as saying:
“It all has to work. Some people think when you sign a film, it’s just one yes, but you say a yes to so many different things… they have to happen before you even reach the set. I am talking about the business side of things, your contract, the money, stylist, hair and makeup person, what’s required of you. That’s how it is atleast for me. There are a lot of things we say no to, and ithurts their feelings probably. Think about it, if you are trying to sell something and they say a no, of course it hurts. But there have been times when I have been rejected for certain projects, that I wished to be a part of.”

That way I am living a dream. This is my journey, my true story. I actually went through a lot of creepy things to get where I am today. But it doesn't mean that I am not strong.
