Sunny Leone reportedly slapped a journalist in Surat, Gujarat, who asked her how much she charged for 'night programmes' now that she's a movie star. The actor was in Surat to perform at a Holi event on March 24 when things got ugly.

OPINION: Sunny Leone not only won THAT interview, she owns the internet too

OPINION: Sunny Leone, quit India? How about more porn films instead?

The event, called 'Play Holi With Sunny Leone', took a nasty turn when Leone slapped the journalist of a national news channel who asked her how much she charged for night programmes. Leone flew into a rage and slapped the person, who was interviewing her in the hotel corridor, a report in Mid-Day stated.

After the incident, the Ek Paheli Leela star told the organisers of the event that she would perform there only if there were no journalists around. The professional that Leone is, she took the incident in her stride and gave a 15-minute performance on the stage.

On Thursday morning, Leone and her husband Daniel Weber arrived at the five-star hotel in Surat. A drunk intruder followed them to their room and began demanding weird favours from Leone. Once the man was ousted from the room, the journalist began speaking to Leone in the corridor. It was during the course of the interview that the awkward question was thrown at Leone, which led to the actor slapping the person.

Leone's husband told the tabloid, "Sunny has given an apt reply to the reporter so we are not filing any police complaint. The organisers were also college kids so we do not want their careers to be damaged. But henceforth, Sunny will think a thousand times before coming to Gujarat."

However, Sunny tweeted a reply to the Mid-Day story on her, which read:

Later on Friday (March 25), Huffington Post India quoted Daniel Weber as claiming that the Mid-Day report was completely false. Weber supposedly said, "That story is complete and utter nonsense. We've called up Mid-Day about it, and they've told us they're going to issue an apology for publishing a completely false story. Nothing happened at all. We went there, we did the event, and we came back. There were no reporters there (at the event) at all."

Weber has apparently also claimed that his quote in Mid-Day is 'completely false', the Huffington Post report read. Regarding the drunk intruder in Sunny's room, her husband has further been quoted as saying, "It's impossible that such a thing could happen. Do you know how much security she travels with? Plus, at every event there are around 50 local bouncers with her all the time. There is no way anybody could get into her room."

Sunny also tweeted:
