Sunny Leone’s New Year’s Eve performance riled up controversy from a pro-Kannada group that claimed that the former porn artist doesn’t represent Kannada “culture”.

Activists of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike Yuva Sene, an off-shoot of the Karnataka Rakshana Vedike, demonstrated outside Manyata Tech Park with protestors wearing black ribbons, armed with brooms, burning posters featuring Sunny Leone.

Sunny Leone sent a message for her supporters and protesters alike.

To all those who protested and to all those who supported, always remember,never allow others to speak and choose for you.Have your own voice and make your own choices. You are the youth and you are the NEW INDIA! Stand Proud and Stand together. I love you all dearly!
