Zeenat Aman

Actress Sunny Leone has taken to her Instagram account to reveal the names of a few Bollywood actresses, who taught her that it's okay to be one's own self in the uneven world of the glamour and film industry. The former adult-star has quit that world to start afresh in Bollywood, with her husband Daniel Weber besides her. Sunny has even adopted a beautiful daughter from Maharashtra's Latur and named her Nisha Kaur Weber.

Revealing the names of a few Bollywood divas, who she draws inspiration and courage from are- Zeenat Aman, Dimple Kapadia, Mandakini, Sharmila Tagore, Rekha and the evergreen Madhubala. In the photos shared, the divas are seen in their sexiest and boldest avatar. She captioned her post as, "A few women in Bollywood who have taught me that it's perfectly ok to be myself. Sharmila Tagore...Mandakini...Dimple Kapadia...Rekha...Zeenat Aman... Madhubala... (sic)."

While a lot of Sunny's fans applauded her for the post, there was the moral police, who brought up her past occupation and refrain from seeing anything beyond it.
