Mumbai: After five films and hosting MTV Splitsvilla, Sunny Leone cannot be called a newcomer in the industry any longer. The actress is now eagerly waiting for her husband Daniel Webber’s debut in Bollywood. And she is not the least bothered about her husband romancing heroines on screen.
“I am not jealous at all. If I see him on screen with someone else, I won’t go, ‘Hey what are you doing?’ It’s part of the entertainment quotient of a film. As long as you don’t cross certain boundaries, it’s all right,” she says. For Sunny, her ideal man had to be someone secure and smart. “By smart I don’t mean armed with a Master’s degree. He should be street smart. Also I’ve always liked physically fit men because I keep fit myself,” she says.
Meeting Daniel was a dream come true, she says. At that time she was living in Los Angeles and he in New York. “He wooed me for about six weeks with flowers, cards and letters since he couldn’t see me in person because of the distance. I remember he asked his friend, who lived an hour away from my home, to drop a chocolate rose at my doorstep. Another time he wrote me a letter… So all that was of course sweet and romantic. Also, Daniel and I have a lot in common. His parents are from Israel and Romania and mine were from India, so we were the first generation from our families living in the US,” Sunny says.
“He’s a total charmer. If he is leaving for a long trip, he leaves me a note or a small teddy bear… He’s what I call every woman’s dream man,” she adds. Sunny reveals that Daniel entered her life soon after she lost her mother. “I felt that if God took away my mother, he sent Daniel to look after me, in her place. Less than a year later, my father was diagnosed with cancer, and even then Daniel was there like a rock by my side,” she says. Ask her what’s been his most special romantic gesture and Sunny says, “It’s actually an emerald necklace with a diamond on it that he gifted me. It’s a family heirloom. Normally family jewellery is something mothers give daughters during their wedding. But that didn’t happen in my case. So this was the first piece of precious jewellery I got from his family.”
While on the home front all is great for Sunny, sometimes controversies do rear their ugly heads. Recently, Celina Jaitley alleged that Sunny and Daniel, who have rented her flat, have not been keeping it in good condition. It seems when Celina came for a visit, she was appalled with the mess in the house and immediately asked the couple to move out.
Not too long ago, even Rakhi Sawant had made some jibes at her. “It is unprofessional. You would never see an actor speaking in such a bad manner as they have. It’s their problem, I don’t care about it. I am here to do good work and I will focus on doing that,” she says.
