Following the protest-threats by groups in Karnataka against the participation of Sunny Leone in the new year celebrations at Bengaluru, Sunny's safety became a concern. Support poured in from her fans who were expecting the law and order departments to intervene and provide security. However, the star's anouncement has proved it otherwise.

She tweeted: "Since the police of Bangalore have publicly said that they will not be able to ensure mine & all who attend safety for my New Years event,my team & I feel,safety of the people should always come first therefore I cannot attend.God bless & I wish everyone a safe & happy New Year!"
