Early life

Karenjit Kaur Vohra was born on May 13, 1981, in Sarnia, Ontario, to Sikh Indian Punjabi parents.[8][9][10] As a young girl, she was a self-described tomboy,[11] very athletic and played street hockey with the boys.[12]

Although the family was Sikh,[10] her parents enrolled her in Catholic school[10][13] as it was felt to be unsafe for her to go to public school.[14] When she was 13, her family moved to Fort Gratiot, Michigan, then to Lake Forest, California, a year later,[13][15] fulfilling her grandparents' dream that the family be together in one place.[10] She had her first kiss at 11,[16] lost her virginity at 16 with a basketball player,[16] and discovered her bisexuality at 18.[17][16]

Pornographic career

Before working in the porn industry, Leone worked at a German bakery,[18] a Jiffy Lube store,[13] and later a tax and retirement firm.[19] She was also studying to become a nurse.[11]

The work was well received by the Hindustan Times, which commented, "Sunny's stories are relentlessly optimistic. The characters are not complicated or unpleasant and exist in a world that veers on the border of Valentine's Land with its floating pink hearts and soft focus lighting."[143]

In an interview to Press Trust of India, Leone explained that the book was written from the perspective of both men and females, and that while it was for both genders it was mainly intended for women, stating, "I wrote these stories, from what I thought a woman would like to read."[144] Sunny Leone add that it is "the first time (she has) written something like this."

Leone at the PETA's stray dog adoption campaign

A 2008 Eye Weekly article reported that "Leone does her best to maintain a link to Sikh traditions, even if more in theory than in practice. But she's unlikely to disavow her career path due to religion" and that Leone said "Girls will leave the industry claiming that they found God. Well, the fact is, God has always been with them the entire time."[164] In a 2010 interview, she said

It's a community-based religion. You walk into a temple and you're greeted with the utmost respect... But, just like any religion it doesn't want you to shoot adult material. I mean, I grew up going to temple every Sunday. When my parents found out they knew my personality which was very independent. Even if they tried to stop me or tried to steer me the right way they would have lost their daughter. I'm too headstrong. And it wasn't a plan. It just happened and my career and everything just kept getting bigger and bigger.[14]

Marriage and family

Actress Sherlyn Chopra confirmed the news by writing a congratulatory message on social media on July 20, 2017. "Never in my life did I think that I want to adopt a child.

Controversies

Thane police's cyber cell at Ramnagar booked her for sections 292, 292A, 294, which could have landed her a term in jail, a fine, or both. Senior police inspector JK Sawant stated, "We cannot block the website, but will ask the operator to remove objectionable content."[183]

Producer and distributor Bharat Patel has accused Leone of not returning a signing fee which she had taken to do a special dance number for his film Patel Ki Punjabi Shaadi after her role was cancelled.[184]
