The top posts on social media from your favourite Bollywood celebrities:

Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone has been trending on the social media, thanks to her interview on the CNN-IBN’s The Hot Seat, where she was asked some really condescending questions. The actress, however, took them in her stride, and gave winning replies. Several celebrities took to Twitter to support Sunny:

Alia Bhatt: ‘That was literally NOT an interview.. Just hyper opinionated statements with a question mark at the end!!! No Grace? Chivalry? Ridiculous!’

Anushka Sharma: ‘This downright distasteful interview shows d journalists intellect & lack of basic human respect & nothing else. Kudos @SunnyLeone.’

Sushant Singh Rajput: ‘How beautifully u held your own in that stupid interview @SunnyLeone. Some1 should have taught him how to respect a woman when he was a kid.’

Dia Mirza: ‘He asks the same question for 20minutes. Because she doesn't satisfy him with the response he's looking for. #Respect’

Mini Mathur: ‘Yes and such stupid questions! He is so googly eyed & patronising while @SunnyLeone holds her own so beautifully.’

Rishi Kapoor: ‘Very unfair & rude interview with Sunny Leone on CNN IBN. She is taking it on her chin sportingly, obviously in the interest of her coming film.’

Gaurav Kapur: ‘Full marks to Sunny Leone for the grace she showed. Most would've walked out of that cringe fest of an interview.’
