Prasoon Joshi on Sunny Leone: “I wouldn’t encourage the profession…”

Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone�۪s past is always a topic of discussion. Where Aamir Khan has said he would have no qualms about working with the ex adult star, lyricist Prasoon Joshi has said he wouldn�۪t encourage her profession.

He was speaking at the 10th��anniversary press meet of ��Rang De Basanti�۪. Deccan Chronicle report Joshi stating, ���”It’s not necessary that every profession is respectable, and if it’s not, it should be criticised too. A profession should in someway or the other contribute in a good way towards society. I don’t respect Sunny Leone’s profession at all and I wouldn’t want the youth to get inspired by that profession�۝.

He went on to add, ���But to question her on her profession… I don’t think that should be done either. If the person is a drug dealer, that’s the person’s personal choice. Will I disrespect the person? No! Will I insult the person publicly? No! That probably my culture doesn’t allow. But at the same time, I wouldn’t encourage the profession either. Certain professions don’t play a constructive role in bringing up a great society, we need to criticise them as well. I think that’s a free society, people have choices to make. But if the choices are not great, then we need to criticise�۝.

Leone last week was seen to keep her cool when having questions thrown at her by a journalist about her past.
