In a recent interview, Sunny Leone discussed the reasons behind altering her name and choosing her brother’s moniker.

The former p*rn actress Sunny Leone is well-known in the entertainment business. She began her career in adult films in the US before moving to India in 2011 and joining Bollywood. She frequently appears in public with her lovely children, and we adore how approachable she is to fans and paparazzi. Sunny recently discussed the background of her name change, including how her mother disapproved of the fact that she chose her brother’s moniker.

Sunny has more than 54 million Instagram followers, which is a significant amount of fans. She frequently shares glimpses of her opulent lifestyle with fans on the platform, and in addition to her attractiveness, we also adore her love of fashion. Her personal style is elegant and relaxed!

Now talking about the latest scoop, in an interview Sunny Leone revealed the backstory about changing her name from Karenjit Kaur Vohra to Sunny and said, “I was in the US doing an interview for a magazine and they said, ‘What do you want your name to be?’ I couldn’t think of anything at that moment. I was working at a tax and retirement firm and I worked for the HR department, accounting department, and another agent. I helped with all these things, and then I was also a receptionist. So, I was doing the interview in this place and I knew I had to get off the phone soon and get back to work, because I would get caught. And they were like ‘what would you like your name to be’ and I said, ‘Use Sunny as my first name, and then you can pick the last name’.”

The Jism 2 actress added, “Sunny is my brother’s nickname. His name is Sandeep Singh, we call him Sunny. My mom hated that I named myself Sunny. She said, ‘Out of all the names, that’s the one you pick?’ I was like, yeah, it’s just what came to my mind… And then the magazine picked the last name and I just kept it.”

Sunny Leone entered the entertainment industry with Bigg Boss in 2011 but was only given the opportunity to appear in one film. Later, she made a major Bollywood breakthrough in Pooja Bhatt’s suspenseful Jism 2, making her a household figure in the business.
