Looking radiant and ravishing in a red gown, Sunny Leone smiled, laughed and blushed in New Delhi Thursday afternoon as five men from the media tried their luck in wooing the Indo-Canadian adult film actress who has worked her way to popularity in Bollywood over the last three years.
At the launch press conference of MTV Splitsvilla Season 7, Leone, who’ll be seen hosting the reality show with Nikhil Chinapa, had a contest for the media. They had to pen an innovative idea each on a chit, and later on stage, five chits were opened randomly and the persons were called on stage.
A veteran cameraperson from a daily sang a Bengali number to woo the Ragini MMS 2 heroine, while a young man wrote an impromptu poem around the beauty and another one sang the popular Yo Yo Honey Singh’s chartbuster Sunny sunny and did a spontaneous jig. But the remaining two men were very shy — while one ended up saying that since writing is all that he knows, Sunny should give him her e-mail ID so he could pen something for her and express himself, one merely said: “Aap bahut khubsoorat hain (You’re very beautiful)”.
Leone was flattered and chose two winners who got a chance to attend a MTV Splitsvilla party in conjunction with the launch of two new flavours of Breezer Indimix in New Delhi Thursday night.
The actress, who started her career in India as a participant in Bigg Boss in 2011, is excited to be associated with the television industry again. She has also featured in MTV Haunted Weekends, but says the new show has been a different experience for her.
“We had a whole lot of fun while ... the palace where we shot (Samode Palace, Jaipur) is really pretty and I got to learn a lot from Nikhil. It’s been an enjoyable experience.”
MTV Splitsvilla 7, which goes on air June 14, will see 20 girls wooing and vying for the attention of seven male celebrities from the small screen — Ayaz Ahmed, Abhishek Malik, Ashwini Kaul, Mayank Gandhi, Mayank Pawar, Rishabh Sinha and Shravan Reddy.
Leone says she has almost lived the journey of the contestants as she could feel the laughter, tears, anger, happiness, sadness and more when they experienced it, and she even had “nightmares” when the contestants fought. But the actress, who believes in true love, says she felt joyous when she saw some “connections” being made. “I’ve had a fairytale love story with my husband, and I feel it’s a happy feeling to see one emerging in front of you.”
Leone married Daniel Weber in 2011.
