Sunny Leone ducked a question about her controversial condom ad at the behest of her husband, Daniel Weber.
Sunny Leone is someone who rarely needs help to tackle tough questions at press conferences or interviews. For someone who received widespread praise for handling a rather difficult electronic interview with grace and dignity at the start of this year, answering a question about the controversy that erupted over the advertisement of a condom brand she endorses should have been a rather easy one, but for the untimely and unwarranted interference of her husband and manager Daniel Weber.
A particular advertisement of Manforce condoms featuring Sunny Leone released last year had come in for criticism, with politician Atul Anjan terming it vulgar and blaming such commercials for triggering rape incidents in India.

At a Manforce event today (July 11), when we asked Sunny about her viewpoint on the same, the actress geared up to answer only to be stopped midway by Daniel who along with the condom company’s official thought it appropriate to intervene and pull the question down by terming it an ‘out-of-context’.
As other scribes protested, supporting the legitimacy of the question, Daniel reluctantly allowed Sunny to answer. The actress, however, decided to let the question pass.

While it’s no surprise to see tough questions posed by journalists being disallowed at press meets these days, we were quite amused when we learnt that Daniel had asked his PR to get more details about us. All this for asking a relevant contextual question.
