The Homecoming
Filmfare|July 2019

Sexy, sassy and sentimental… That’s how Raghuvendra Singh describes Sunny Leone

The Homecoming
Our past decides our future,” says Sunny Leone in a voiceover in the trailer of her biopic series, Karenjit Kaur: The Untold Story Of Sunny Leone. Yet the spunky showgirl hasn’t allowed the constraints of her past confine the possibility of a new future. Born as Karenjit Kaur in a Sikh family in Canada, her narrative has scaled the extremes.

From studying to be a nurse to becoming an adult star and then taking a detour to return to her Indian roots and entering the film industry, hers has been a story of squashing prejudice and perception. Her big ticket to India was appearing in Bigg Boss season 5 in 2011. Post that, she kickstarted her film career with Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2 followed by Ragini MMS 2, Mastizaade, One Night Stand and Tera Intezaar. Her tantalising moves in the reloaded Laila main Laila in Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees was her entry into the big league. Not to forget that her scintillating moves in Baby doll (Ragini MMS 2) and Pink lips (Hate Story 2) had already won her cheerleaders aplenty.

Karenjit Kaur… has indeed been a catharsis of sorts for Sunny, where she relived the watershed moments of her life and perhaps found a closure. What’s more it acquainted her fans with the sentimental Sunny, who’s often overshadowed by her erstwhile PenthousePet status. The season finale spotlights family dynamics including her mother’s demise, her father’s fight with cancer and her marriage to business partner Daniel Weber. Producer Shareen Mantri and director Aditya Datt wanted to showcase her journey through an objective lens.
