Sunny Leone
Sunny Leone is the stage name of Karenjit Kaur Vohra, born on May 13, 1981 in the city of Sarnia, province of Ontario in Canada. She is a film actress, former pornographic actress and porn director Canadian, naturalized American, of Indian origin. An exotic mix, but one that would become her highlight throughout her career.
childhood and adolescence
He grew up loving the cold Canadian winters and the snow that came with them. Sunny Leone loved building snowmen and ice skating, regular activities every month from November to March. Passionate about sports, singing, and dancing, young Sunny Leone was a consummate performer, soaking up the attention that brought her and consuming every word of praise that came her way.
But that all changed in 1996 when her family packed up and moved to Southern California. It was a very difficult adjustment for young Sunny Leone, then just a little Canadian girl, whose innocence and naiveté were not fully appreciated by her new schoolmates. Also, her adopted hometown lacked the change of seasons she loved so much about the ancient country. Sunny persevered, however, and after graduating in 1999, she enrolled at a local junior college. After a friend told her that she should try modeling, a natural choice for a young beauty, she found a contact who specializes in adult entertainment and decided to give it a try.
the porn career
Although she was initially wary of taking off her clothes and posing suggestively for the camera, curiosity got the better of Sunny Leone who dove into her new career full force, quickly becoming one of the most sought-after adult models. In 2001, Sunny was named Pet of the Penthouse for the March issue, and numerous layouts in other magazines soon followed, including “Cheri”, “High Society”, “Swank”, “Leg World”, “Hustler” and “Club International” She also appeared in the home video for Penthouse: Pets in Paradise (2001) as well as Ja Rule’s “Livin’ It Up” music video.
In 2005, Sunny Leone becomes an adult film porn actress recording only “solo” scenes, of masturbation and lesbian sex. Hired from “Adam & Eve”, Sunny is assigned as an internet sales representative on the American West Coast. In the same year, Sunny signed a three-year contract with the Vivid production company and released her first film, titled “Sunny”. With the title of “Vivid Virtual Girl”, Sunny Leone stars in an interactive film and it is the first time that a “Vivid Girl” makes this type of film and the success was so great that after only four days, the film won an AVN award of best interactive DVD and Sunny Leone finally rises to the top, becoming one of the most successful pornstars in the world.
In May 2007, Sunny Leonne renewed her contract with Vivid for another six films, agreeing for the first time to film sex scenes with another man, provided, however, that the man was porn actor Matt Erikson. So that summer, filming for “Sunny Loves Matt” takes place. In January 2008, she reveals the end of her exclusivity with Erikson and filmed scenes with other porn actors, including the most important ones, Charles Dera, James Deen and Tommy Gunn.
In August of the same year, she announced the launch of her own film studio, Sunlust Pictures, with Daniel Weber as a partner. With her new venture, Sunny writes, directs and creates her new adult film brand, with Vivid serving as distributor to audiences. The first independent production is “The Dark Side of the Sun”.
At the 2008 Xbiz Awards, he won the Web Babe of the Year award. Meanwhile, it exploits its popularity on the web, managing to conclude surprising agreements with several companies (such as PPPcard, AdultPokerParty.com, Brickhouse, Flirt4Free, Totemcash and Imlive) for the sale and distribution on the Internet of the contents that portray it.
In 2009, the contract with Vivid ends and Sunny also starts working for other studios. Her success leads her to rise in many rankings, to be positioned, according to Maxim magazine, among the 12 best pornographic actresses of 2010.
Sunny Leone out of the porn scene and success in Bollywood:
Sunny Leone’s first appearance on television was in 2005 when she appeared on the red carpet of the ‘MTV Awards India’. Even so, Sunny was not entirely unknown to television audiences. In fact, she had previously appeared in the music video “Livin It Up” by rapper Ja Rule. She also played small roles in the films Deadly Stingers (2003) and The Girl Next Door. On other occasions, he participated in the Wild On! from the channel “E!” and at the Sundance Film Festival – After Dark, in 2007. After the release of the film “Debbie does Dallas…again”, it is part of a documentary for the American channel Showtime, on the CBS network, in which details of the production of the film are filmed and of the personal lives of the stars and part of the cast.
Sunny Leone has previously said that for a fair amount, he could seriously consider the idea of a career in Bollywood. In the past, she was courted by Indian directors but never saw herself in the roles she was supposed to play. It seems that Mohit Suri initially asked Sunny to star in the film “Kalyug”, but eventually, due to the director’s unwillingness to pay the actress for the sum of $1 million. Sunny mentioned that more than 60% of her fans are from South Asia and that her favorite Bollywood actor is Aamir Khan.
In 2011, Sunny Leone left for India to participate in the reality show Bigg Boss (a kind of Indian “Big Brother”). It was here that her fortunes changed and she was offered the lead role in an upcoming erotic thriller, Jism 2, from Indian filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. After the success of Jism 2, Sunny devoted herself to Indian cinema making appearances not only in Bollywood films but also in regional cinema, with guest appearances in song and dance numbers.
Her third role in Ragini MMS 2 received more praise and success at the box office. As of 2016, she has appeared in over 20 Indian films. A documentary titled “Mostly Sunny” (2016) released at the Toronto International Film Festival recorded Sunny Leone’s meteoric rise from pornstar to Bollywood star.
