MOTHERHOOD HAS CHANGED SUNNY ‘FOR THE BETTER’
Sunny Leone, who started off as an adult film star and later, ventured into Bollywood, is in love with her life as it is unfolding. She is not just managing a career, but also enjoying her time being a mother of three, and says that motherhood has changed her.
“I have changed and evolved but I believe (it has happened) for the better. I look at all three of them and am completely, utterly in love with them,” says the Indo-Canadian actor.
Last year, Sunny, who is married to Daniel Weber, took everyone by surprise when she shared that they had adopted a girl, Nisha, from a village in Latur. Another surprise came in March this year, when the couple extended their brood by including twin boys, Noah and Asher, via surrogacy.
With three toddlers to give attention to, will her career slow down? “I believe I am the best mother I can be if I am working and spending time with them. I love my job and I hope my children grow up to be just as hardworking as my husband and I,” she says. The 37-year-old adds that Daniel and she have scheduled their time “carefully” so that the kids don’t feel a lack of attention, care or love”.
Sunny was named Penthouse Pet of the Year in 2003 and shifted her focus to mainstream acting in Hindi films with Jism 2 in 2012, following it up with Ragini MMS 2, Ek Paheli Leela, Kuch Kuch Locha Hai, Mastizaade and Tera Intezaar.
Her life has inspired a digital platform series. Did she have any initial apprehensions about putting her life out for the world to know? “Yes, many. But what swayed me to do it is [that it’s] the true story and not something that people believe it to be,” she says.
