Singh also touched upon the hypocrisy within Bollywood, pointing out that many mainstream actors with controversial pasts are often forgiven, while Leone faced intense scrutiny. He advocated for a less judgmental industry, stating that it was time to acknowledge that the film world is not "saint-like" and should be more accepting of different backgrounds.

Singh noted that while the media was busy painting Leone as a "hot target" for moral judgment, on set, she was a different person entirely. He described her as surprisingly grounded, quiet, and dedicated to the craft of acting. For Singh, the transition from the "fantasy" version of Sunny Leone to the "reality" of her work ethic was seamless. He highlighted that the discomfort lay not with him or the cast, but with a society that struggled to reconcile the actress with her past.

She is a brand. She is a target . Every producer, every director—especially the 'hot' ones—wants to see how far they can push the envelope with her."

As the interview went viral, the internet exploded. Fans of Arunoday praised his "refreshing honesty," while conservative voices accused him of "glorifying pornography."
