In a conversation with Brut India from Cannes, where Sunita is representing her film Santosh in the Un Certain Regard section, she revealed the ill-treatement of characters on sets is what once led her to take a break from acting for two years.
"Lead actors are given the call time as per their convenience," she said adding that sometimes the discrimination done is "humiliating."

She added that when given small roles, actors are not respected and "treated like animals", which is heartbreaking. "If you know you are not shooting with a particular artiste then call them later. What¡¯s the need of making them sit? It¡¯s like you are trying to shoot others down," she said and added about the conditions on a TV set and said, "Lead actors are pampered. Their room will be neat, they will have a fridge, microwave. Where as others like us, we will have a small dingy room. They will make 3-4 people sit. The roof is falling down. No clean bathroom. Your bedsheet will be dirty. Seeing all this, I always felt so bad."
