Pornstar and Bollywood actor Sunny Leone has found herself in a spot of bother after her husband Daniel Weber on Sunday decided to mark Father’s Day by posting a semi-naked photo of his family including that of their adopted daughter Nisha.

Sunny Leone

In the photo posted by Weber (whose identity on Instagram is @dirty99) posted the seemingly naked photo of their adopted daughter with the caption, “This is Fathers Day!!! The greatest love one can imagine !!! Thank You @sunnyleone for meeting Nisha Kaur and Falling in Love for both of us !!! You are always the one who knows Best. She is everything and has stole my heart forever !!!! Xoxoxo Thank You !!!! (sic)”

In the photo (see below), Leone appears to be unclothed. The child also seems to be without any clothes on with only Leone’s hands covering the little girl’s modesty. Weber, for his part, is seen lying next to both of them shirtless. It seems the photo has been taken by another individual.

The post evoked such nasty responses that some of them can’t even be reproduced here. They included vulgar comments for Leone targeting her for her porn business. There were also ‘pedophilia’ jibes aimed at Weber. Among the ‘saner’ comments, one user manal.hq wrote, “shame of India.” Another user sarcastically commented, “when u have addiction on being naked.” “Why are you naked?” asked one user. Many also wondered if the person clicking the photo was also naked. The overall theme of the public outrage was that they had subjected even a little girl to public exposure wearing little or no clothes.

At present, prospective adoptive parents have to go to civil or family courts to get the final go-ahead after completing all other formalities related to adoption, and the whole process often takes years.

An inter-ministerial panel headed by external affairs minister Sushma Swaraj has cleared a proposal making district magistrates the final authority to clear child adoption cases, in a bid to quicken a process that is often hit by year-long delays, three government officials aware of the development said.

At present, prospective adoptive parents have to go to civil or family courts to get the final go-ahead after completing all other formalities related to adoption. But with pendency high in civil and family courts, people familiar with the adoption process say it is not easy to get a date for hearing.

“The Sushma Swaraj-led group of ministers has cleared the union women and child (WCD) ministry’s proposal to amend the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act, 2015 and incorporate a clause allowing courts of district magistrate to pass the adoption order,” said one of the officials cited above.
