However, a diamond trader has claimed that he was present at the party at which the striptease was held.

You may have spotted it and even surreptitiously checked out the photos but porn star turned Bollywood actor Sunny Leone has denied that she ever stripped for a gathering of businessmen.

The photos that went viral featured the actress allegedly stripping for a group of businessmen and even dancing with a few of them in what seems to a private show for them.

The report claimed that she had charged Rs 40 lakh to strip for a diamond trader's private party in Pune.

However, the actress took to Twitter to refute the claims and said she was busy with multiple events on the day she is said to have participated in the show:

April 18 was shooting @TinaNLolo and night was at @Mayyurrgirotra store launch, please do some fact checking before printing lies @htTweets — Sunny Leone (@SunnyLeone) April 28, 2014

So the obvious question then remains: who are the pictures of then? As India Today points out, Leone has been working hard at shedding her porn star image after making her Bollywood debut and the pictures may even be morphed. Given the abundance of racy Leone photographs all over the Internet, this is not altogether impossible.

The Mumbai Mirror, however, says that despite what the actor claims, the photos are hers and they just weren't clicked this year.

"The party was hosted in 2012 at a resort named Risque in Macau. It was organised by a big ticket company dealing in rough diamonds which had invited several traders from Surat and Mumbai to promote its products," a diamond trader, who was allegedly present at the party told the newspaper.
