About Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone, born Karenjit Kaur Vohra on May 13, 1981, in Sarnia, Ontario, Canada, is a Canadian-American actress, model, and former adult film star of Indian Sikh descent. Raised in a Punjabi Sikh family, she spent her early years in Canada before relocating to Southern California with her parents and brother in 1996. She attended Catholic school and later enrolled in college to study pediatric nursing, but her career path shifted dramatically after entering the entertainment industry.

She is often cited as one of the most beautiful women to ever do adult content and often tops lists of women considered too pretty to have done porn. Her transition from adult films to Bollywood stardom after 2012—beginning with Jism 2—further broadened her appeal and made her one of the most popular stars in India. Physically, she stands at 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm) with a curvaceous figure (38C-24-36), long dark hair (sometimes dyed lighter), and brown eyes. Her polished, glamorous look, often highlighted by lingerie or bold outfits, contributes to her enduring allure.

Controversies have occasionally marked her career. Her shift to boy/girl scenes in 2007 sparked debate among fans, with some questioning the influence of her fiancé, though she framed it as a mutual decision. Her entry into Bollywood faced backlash in India, with conservative groups protesting her adult film past during promotions for Jism 2 in 2012; a petition even sought to block her visa and in 2015 she was even threatened with arrest for corrupting the Indian people. In 2016, an interview in India suggesting regret over her porn career stirred discourse, though she later clarified her pride in her journey. These moments, while notable, have not overshadowed her success. Her net worth, estimated at $13 million to $15 million as of 2025, reflects earnings from adult work, Bollywood films, and business ventures like her production company, SunLust Pictures, co-founded with Daniel Weber, whom she married in 2011.
