How did you meet Hugh Hefner?
I wrote to him in May 2012, expressing my desire to do a shoot for Playboy. I got a reply in less than a week. I met him two months later at the famed Playboy mansion. It felt immensely exhilarating to be welcomed by an iconic entertainment mogul as his guest.
How was he as a person?
His off-screen persona was a far cry from his on-screen image. He was shy and soft-spoken. He was a thorough gentleman — one who knows how to treat a lady with respect. He was the most decent man I've met in my life.
How was the experience at the Playboy mansion?
It was an all-expenses paid vacation. It was too good to be true. I was pampered silly by his staff who made my trip to Los Angeles memorable. The Playboy mansion was magnificent, with breathtaking architecture, greenery and wildlife. I was treated like royalty.

A lot of people felt he objectified women and promoted pornography.
I cannot speak about others' experiences. My cover shoot was done by a team of professionals. Barring the photographer, it was an all-female team. None of them looked at me as an object, but as a spiritual being in a beautiful, exotic body. It was that paradigm that made it comfortable for me to unleash my sexuality.
Your photoshoot was said to be a scam as you never got on the Playboy cover.
By the time my photos were released, the production of print magazines had ceased. My cover was released digitally and I was pleased with it.
