Nemo: There's only one cosmic entity
that unites all heterosexual Indian males
and that is
Sunny Leone,
The former porn star
has replaced cricket, politics and religion
as the new national obsession,
In 2014 she was Google's most searched celebrity in India
for the third year running,
She also dominated every YouTube list
and is still the most searched person on pornhub,com,
Even Osama Bin Laden was so obsessed with Sunny
that he had a stack of her videos in his house in Pakistan,
Can you imagine the most dreaded terrorist in the world
obsessed with a porn star?
Those are some lines from my article on Sunny Leone,
My name in Nemo and I'm a journalist
for one of India's top web portals:
india,com,
I think Sunny Leone is amazing,
When I was a little kid
the only reason I wanted a credit card
was so I could watch her videos live,
India came from the land of the Kama Sutra
we cared a lot about sex
but now we have imbibed 19th Century Victorian morality
as our own culture,
We believe that what the British believed in the 19th Century
is what are traditional Indian values,
Indian women are not supposed to talk about sex,
Indians in general pretend there's no such thing,
We have the second highest population in the world,
but we pretend like no one's having sex,
We don't even have sex education in schools,
In India, there are a lot of hot actresses,
They wear skimpy clothes,
But you can never go back home and see them naked,
None of them have ever posed naked
and suddenly here's an actress
who is open about her porn career,
You can actually see her sleeping with someone else,
That's like the culmination of a childhood fantasy
for most people,

That's why everybody's here,
More than for our young adults night,
they're here because of Sunny Leone,
As friends and friends of friends,
friends of friends of friends,
Everybody who's related to the friends
and the cousins of the friends have come just to see her,
This is the craziest shit I've ever heard in my entire life,
They want me,
Sunny Leone,
a freaking porn star,
to dance
and have a good time
and be part of their celebration,
It is insane!

I'm also on the wedding shelf,

Sunny Leone for the performance,
So it's fine, It's fine,
I don't think today people relate to her
with the career that she had before
as a porn star,
So today, she's pretty much a part of the Bollywood industry
and that's how everybody relates to her,

I was born as
Karenjit Kaur Vohra,
I was born in Sarnia, Ontario
and I lived there 'til I was about
thirteen, fourteen years old,
I moved to the U,S,,
I moved to California
where I was kind of like
the loner kid who tried to fit in
um but didn't in Orange County
because if any-anybody knows
anything about California,
it's a very um,
just a very difficult city to live in,
Um, so from there I
I met an agent who said, you know,
this is what I do,
Um, I walked into his office and he's got Penthouse,
Hustler, Cheri all these, like,
different magazines on his wall,
He didn't have to cajole,
he didn't have to force me or
he didn't have to do anything,
I kinda, I walked in there
ah not knowing who he was,
um to be honest,
I didn't know what Penthouse was when I,
when I walked in there,
I'd never seen a Penthouse magazine,
I'd never seen an adult magazine in my entire life,
I was eighteen, turning nineteen,
My first job with him was to shoot for a movie
called: noangels,com
and ah I turned into one of the 'no' angels,
And I kiss his neck and his ear,
and like slowly like,
inch my way to um,
have him go inside me
and then just ride it,
In my whole life,
my parents have seen me naked when I was a baby
and one or two other people
in my life have seen me totally naked,
And that's where I shot one of my first nude scenes
and I-I thought about it and thought well,
this is so much money,
I mean at that time it was something like
ten to fifteen thousand dollars for a week of work
and that's in U,S,
and I thought:
"Okay well, how hard can this be?"
And I didn't think about my family,
I didn't think about what was right or wrong to them,
Um, I didn't think what I was doing was wrong
I was making a living,
This is more money than I could ever imagine,
that I would make all-year long
working at a tax and retirement firm,
working as a receptionist,
and in the HR department
and the accounting department
and for one of the agents,
My parents didn't have a lot of money,
Um, it's not that we were poor,
that wasn't the case at all,
But ah, they definitely didn't like,
give us what we wanted,
So I was always like, trying to figure out
how am I going to make money?
How am I gonna figure out how to
go to the store to buy candy?
Both my parents were alive
when I posed for Penthouse magazine
as the cover centrefold,
They didn't know about it because I pulled all,
every local store around my house,
I pulled all the magazines off the shelves
and I bought them all,
Sunny Singh Vohra: My sister had called me on the phone
and she was all excited and, you know,
telling me about everything that was going on
and she's like,
"Oh my god, Penthouse asked me
what my stage name was going to be"
and she's like, "Don't laugh at me,
don't be mad",
And I was like, "No, what's-what's your name,
like what could it possibly be?"
And she's like, "My name is Sunny",
And I was like,
"What? What-what do you mean your name's Sunny?
My name's Sunny",
And she's like, "Well, I couldn't think of any other name
so that was the first thing that popped in my head",
And I was like,
"That's freakin' cool, like why not?"
You know? I don't-I don't mind,
You know, but then later on in life,
you realize that being around her and then in the industry
everyone's saying "Sunny" and I'm like, "What?"
I stole his name,
I told him that I stole his name,
My mother wasn't happy about it when she found out who I was,
They were like, "Why did you have to pick that name?
Why did you have to pick your brother's name?"
I was like, "I don't know, I just picked it,
I have no idea",
I don't know why I picked his name,
I just liked, I guess I like it too,
First of all, just to make sure everybody knows;
me and my sister are like this,
nothing separates us,
We've always had that relationship, you know,
she showed me around,
she introduced me to people,
and she kind of always had my back,
When he was in college the first few years,
um he's like, "I need to make a couple extra bucks
will you sign some autographs and
so I can sell them at my fraternity",
And I was like,
"Okay, but don't take anything less than ten to fifteen dollars
a-a signature",
So I just turn around and start selling them to people
'cause my buddies would be like,
"Oh my god give me a copy of that
because I don't have one",
What I would purposely do is
I would put one on my wall in a frame, right,
and people are like, "Oh please give it to me,
I'll give you twenty bucks
I'll give you twenty bucks",
Sure have it like,
you know, you're my best friend,
You know, give me-give me your twenty bucks,
Next day, boop, another frame,
and another picture on the wall,
And I was like,
"Okay, so you're making money off of me?"
And I'd be like, "Okay fine",

"We want you to come on the show
and play a song from your new album,
and but you gotta bring Sunny
because it would be great to interview both of you",
So I said, "Okay, that sounds cool",
So we get to the radio show and we're sitting in the greenroom

I told my mom to tune in"

"Man, that was a really good song,
I just have to know,
what's it like to have sex with your wife on camera?"
And my jaw dropped
and I was like,
"Ah, , , what?"
and my phone buzzed,
and I pull it out of my pocket
and it's my mother,
My mother told, as a proud mother,
of her son playing music on the radio,
all of her friends to listen to the radio show,
Not the proudest moment of my life,
So I read the text, and its my mother
and she says, "Please tell me this is not true",

go in the car, I call my mother,

In this film we were expecting some steamy scenes from Sunny,

I'm like "Bang her harder!"
Fuck that pussy fucking harder!
Sorry!
The whole family knew in twenty-four hours,
To the point that,
my sister had no choice,
She's like, "Oh my God,
so-and-so just called me um,
and said they saw me on Howard Stern",
And I was like, "Oh shit", You know,
I was like, "Okay, what are we going to do about,
what are you going to do?
What are we going to do?"
and she's like, "I have to tell them,
I don't have a choice",
My parents found out,
who I was, when I told them,
which is exactly how I wanted it to happen,
It was when I won Penthouse Pet of the Year um in 2003
and um, I think I had the worst stomachaches
all week from anxiety,
My sister's shaking, I'm kinda like, uh I'm nervous,
My hands are clammy,
like I don't know how this is gonna go,
She just lets it out:
"I'm in the adult entertainment industry,
I didn't think it would lead to where I'm at now"
and she started telling the whole story,
"Mom, Dad, I
won Penthouse Pet of the Year
and I won $100,000",
And I-I emphasized on the $100,000
hoping that it would sound like a lottery ticket,
Um, but um, my mother chimes in like, you know,
after a lot of silence:
"You were naked?!"
It, I don't know how it registered
but it did and then
she started crying,
and crying and crying,
And my father,
you know, he was like,
"Well you obviously didn't consult us
before you made this decision,
Um, the only thing that I can tell you is
whatever you're going to do in life,
make sure that you are the best at what you do",
and it wasn't on the emphasis of me
taking my clothes off,
because no father wants that at all,
no parent wants that,
It was that,
I think it was more on the lines of
you've made this decision now own it,
and be successful,
Don't get sick,
Don't, you know,
do things that hurt your body
or hurt yourself or
I think they were worried about drugs,
I think they were worried,
the idea of sex,
we never talked about sex,
um ever, in my household,
Only that it was bad,
All she wanted was just their-their-their support,
Not necessarily to the point
you're asking for somebody's blessing,
just support me,
in-in some fashion,
I'm not asking you to like what I do, love what I do,
My mother was extremely devastated,
She was hurt,
She made me
definitely feel horrible about
the decision that I had made,
And that's why I had to just come to the,
that one thing and say,
"Look, this is how it is,
This is how it's gonna be,
I'm not changing my mind,
I don't regret it,
And you need to just get over it",
Then you had the whole family just
they don't talk to her anymore,
They, when my parents go over for dinner parties,
that's what everybody wants to talk about:
Drama, drama, drama,
Your daughter does this,
Your daughter does that,
So that didn't help,
So, the divide in the family started
to occur
because then,
now my parents are shunned off as well,
[Phone Ringing]
Sunny's Aunt: Hello?
Male Voice: Mrs, Danjel?
Sunny's Aunt: Yes?

We're looking for family to talk to now that she's
one of the biggest stars in India,
Sunny's Aunt: I don't want to talk about it,
Thank you,
[Phone Beeping]
Sunny: When I posed for Penthouse magazine,
the first one, the cover centrefold,
I got a lot of hate mail saying:
"You're not Indian,
You're not a woman,
You are a disgrace to our culture,
You're a disgrace to our religion,
You're a disgrace to every Indian person",
You're reading all these nasty things
that people are saying about you and,
at the age of nineteen its-it's not fun,
Nor did I want to go through that again ever,
Um, so that was my Penthouse situation,
That's why when "Bigg Boss"
messaged us to be on the show,
I immediately said no,
I said um, you know,
"We're not interested,
Thank you very much,
Best of luck, Blah blah",
Got another email:
"Listen, this is a presentation of the show",
So we opened the presentation,
and in it it says,
'viewed by over fifty million people'
and I was like,
"What? Viewed by over fifty million people?"
I go, "How is it even possible?"
Greetings India and hello world!
Welcome to Bigg Boss Season 5!
Daniel: I spoke to them on the phone again,
they said, "You tell us what it's going to take
to get her on the show",
And I was like, "Uh, okay",
I was like, "That's crazy",
So I turn to Daniel and I go,
"As a signing bonus, I want $100,000",
And for us at the time,
it was a lot of money for us, yeah,
That was an insane amount of money, insane,
Yeah, we had nothing,
I don't care who you are in life, but,
that's a-that's a lot of money,
We were doing a big show called 'Bigg Boss',
which is an Indian version of Big Brother,
and it does really well, and uh,
I think one of the names that was short listed
and they had paid for as one of the contestants,
was Sunny Leone,
Uh, and for whatever reason,
the team developed cold feet and decided not to get her in,
And we were sitting in a creative meeting,
and we were short listing new names
and one of the creative person told me,
"Raj, you know there's this person in the U,S,
and we paid her money but we are not bringing her",
I said, "We paid her money, we paid her and not bringing her?
Why are we not doing that?"
And they said she's a porn star,
So I said, "So what?
Who are we to judge about anybody?"
And uh, I said,
"Are we going to show porn on television?"
They said no,
I said, "Are we going to show any nudity on television?"
They said no,
I said, "Are we going to do anything that breaks the laws
of this country?"
They said no,
I said, "Well what's the problem?"
Two days later I got a SMS message saying,
'Sunny landing tomorrow night,
media activated - everything under control',
I'd forgotten who is Sunny,
So I said, "Who's Sunny?"
because I had forgotten the name, right,
And they said, "Sunny Leone,
the porn star",
I said, "Okay, great",
And then I Googled,
And then I froze for a few seconds,
I realized the magnitude of what was going to happen,

Credit to get Sunny uh,
into "Bollywood"
should actually be given to my daughter,
Punja Bhatt because it was she,
who kind of had the vision to cast her,
Sunny had made her foot into the Indian landscape
with the Bigg Boss,
And the Bigg Boss had suddenly become the talking point of
the so called decent,
middle class homes were now talking
about this porn star
who was actually very beautiful
and very pretty
and she was just like us,

[Laughing & Cheering]
Raj Nayak: Punja Bhatt called me and said, you know,
"We've been wanting to cast Sunny Leone for a movie
and can you tell us when does she
get out of the house?"
So I dialed Mr, Mahesh right then and there
and I said, "What's up?
You wanted to cast this girl?
Would you go into the house and interact with her?
But the only difference is, you'll be on camera",
He said, "Can I do that?"
I said, "Yeah you can do that, you don't-
I'm the CEO of the company, I can do anything",
But when I went to meet her I found her um,
very vulnerable and there was a little
scared girl in her,
In fact, shy,
Yes, you can be a porn star and still be shy,
Raj Nayak: The rest is history,
Mr, Mahesh Bhatt went inside the house,
It also brought respectability to this show
and it brought respectability to Sunny Leone
because suddenly, you had one of India's biggest,
most well known Film Director
going in and making her an offer,
On live television,
Inside the house,
Woo!

for everybody,
when you have success
everything is forgotten,
That's reality,
Mahesh: She has succeeded according to me,
Of course we all have miles to go,
And I think
you will see her in the front rows
of the entertainment world
for a long time to come,
The only person who can write the obituary of Sunny Leone
is Sunny Leone herself,
India has opened
its arms and embraced her,
Phew,
If you haven't seen her YouTube's
please see them,
Please see them,
It's, it's obnoxious,
Sunny Leone has enacted very nude scenes,
which do not behove a human being,
Not a woman or a man at all,
I can imagine an animal doing it
'cause animal has no sense of right or wrong,
To a huge extent currently being revealed
pornography today, is emerging
as one of the catalysts or a trigger
for rapists,
My concern is the impact
such pornographic acts
have on society
and somebody else is a victim
who's had no role in this,
So the victim is invisible
but the victim is certain,
I know that a lot of fingers get pointed at me
here in India when these cases happen
and it's absolutely disheartening
and ridiculous in every way,
Rape has been going on for centuries,
It didn't get created when I got created,
It was created before the Internet,
It was created before, uhh,
adult material was on the internet,
Rape started centuries ago,
Get it together,
Like it's something that's been going on
for so freaking long,
It's just now in
your face because of the Internet
because of television,
because of people reporting it,

Agnes: You were asking why I came to Bombay?
I wanted to be part of the film industry,
One of the leading ladies,
From childhood I had thought
to be an actress I'd have to know how to dance,
[Doorbell Rings]
Agnes: My friend has come,
Share some of your views,
As a dancer I struggle less
but, as an actor
I'm asked to 'compromise' with the Producer or the Director,
Compromise! -It's like,
"Can you come to the movies with me?
Can you come to ah- -Go to bed with them,
Can you go bed with me?
And ah can you ah
ah drink booze?
Be open with me?
Can you have open sex with me?"
Some production companies are now asking you to fill forms
and they ask for all your personal details
and whether or not you're willing to 'compromise'?
Yes or No?
Can you imagine,
that's appearing as an option these days?
And I think, "What's this all about?"
Does that mean your talent accounts for nothing?
No matter that you've learned martial arts or dancing,
No matter that you've assisted the choreographer,
No matter that you've come here
or that you've worked so much on your body,
your look, your personality,
But, you have to put all that aside
if you can't go to bed with them,
This is every producer's demand,
They want their female artist
in every possible way,
They want her hole,
her soul,
her body, her everything,
Agnes: I knew Sunny Leone was a porn star,
But her nature,
her nature was so nice,
Everything was so nice about her
that we forgot who she is and where she's come from,
But we feel so good with her,
Of course I want to be a Sunny Leone,
Today she's
an inspiration for so many, right?
She's a star,
A star that all of us sitting here want to become,
We are still we are very lucky that we dance beside her
but we also want to take that position,
All right?
She has everything,
She has a fan following,
a home, a car, a bungalow
and also a sweet husband,
A has a nice family life,
She gets everything,
Yeah, when I can go to any extent to become a Sunny Leone,
I'll even steal her husband,
Varsta: Yeah, I think I can go to any extent
to become Sunny Leone,
Marci Hirsch: An X-rated film
is a movie with
hardcore sex,
Our movies are very couples oriented,
But there's always sex because that's,
that's what we do,
Vivid Entertainment is an adult production company,
so, all of our content is X-rated,
In 2005, Sunny came to Vivid,
she had a meeting with Steven,
who's one of the owners of the company,
and, you know,
she was unlike any of the other girls that
that we've talked to,
She came prepared,
she had a portfolio,
she knew what she wanted,
She knew,
she knew what she was worth,
She knew, she had a career path,
At the time, you know,
she was working with girls and she loved girls,
and she wanted to be in the movies,
Steve and I actually have talked about this,
she was so beautiful
that she did not look like she should
be coming to Vivid for a job,
When she first came to work with us
she had a boyfriend
and so he did a few movies with her
and then, they broke up
and she tried to do one movie
with guys in the business,
On a particular day,
out of my own, natural, just, ah I guess
inside dreams that I would work with Sunny Leone one day
it came to fruition,
Porn star Sunny Leone meets porn star Tommy Gunn
and they both have porno sex on camera,
I wasn't in the adult industry,
I was with my family in a factory
and when I met her,
she was contracted with Vivid Entertainment
and um,
she still had one more movie to make with Vivid
and I thought that it was a little strange like, okay,
the girl that I'm gonna date is gonna go shoot a movie
with somebody else
and we both agreed that we're just way too conservative
and we're dating, that would be really weird,
Sunny: We were head over heels in love with each other,
The idea of, doing all this-
Daniel: I said I couldn't take it, there's no way,
I said I'm not from that world,
She had one more to shoot,
She said she had to fulfill the contract with Vivid
or she can just cancel and give the money back,
And I said,
I'll just shoot the movie with you and-
And I said,
"Hold on a second",
I was like, "Hold your horses",
She's like, "I don't think you understand
what you're getting into" and I was like,
"Who's gonna see it?"
It's a lot easier for girls in our business
lets just say then it is for guys,
Um, men have to be able to perform
for long periods of time
and, have to be able to finish on cue,
When somebody says, wrap it up,
they have to wrap it up,
Uh, you should tell what happened-
Hold on, Hold on, Hold on,
because it's actually quite funny,
So, no,
Yeah, -That's too explicit, so,
No it's not, -Yeah,
I'll-I'll tell the-the tame version,
The rated R version,
So, we're on set having sex
and the director tells Daniel,
"Okay Daniel, tell me when
just so that I'm ready when, you know,
the magical moment's going to happen",
Daniel: He's like, "Yeah yeah, when?"
And I was like, "No, that was when",
And he's like, "What?!"
He's like, "Dude,
you can't just do that",
And I was like, I don't know, I was with my girlfriend,
I was like, having fun,
He's like, "You ruined the whole movie!"
And about the time,
she started doing movies with Daniel
she wasn't doing that many movies anymore,
Um, then they started Sunlust Productions,
which is their adult production company,
Somebody that we knew put it in our minds,
Said, "Well you guys should just start a production company",
And I said, "Listen, , ,"
He just dropped the idea in our mind and-
I said, "Listen, I sell steel displays,
I could sell pornography,
It's all the same shit, who cares?"
We did a distribution deal with them,
which is still in place today,
and Vivid distributes their movies,
So they shoot their movies,
and they package them,
Daniel: So, we shot our first movie,
We had no money,
Sunny: Zero, Daniel: We took out money
against the credit cards to pay for it,
But we took $25,000 against credit cards
and we shot our first adult film,
And then we ramped it up to shooting two movies a month,
as a company,
But not us in it, we stopped after like,
the third or fourth movie,
We weren't in any of the movies anymore
and then we would put it as directed by Sunny Leone
and that's the way it stays,
And we still do that,
The moment that we started our own production company
was my exit strategy-
Yup, and that was in 2008,
Of working in adult films
because it wasn't something that
I wanted to keep doing,
[Camera Shutters Clicking]
I got plenty if you guys are good,
And I'm good,
Yeah, we're done,
Scott Wallach: Let's discuss the fact
that if my daughter, when she gets older,
decides she wants to be an adult actress,
Now I-I would say to my daughter,
that's fine, let's discuss this 'cause this,
you can actually make a living doing this
and you can parlay this into
a real, legitimate business,
Case in point, Sunny Leone,
If Sunny Leone just screwed a bunch of guys
and a bunch of girls
for the ten years she was in the business,
and ended up with nothing in the end,
then all she did was fuck a bunch of guys,
and screw a bunch of girls
and that would piss me off as a father,
But if you took, if you made a million dollars,
and then we could take that money and invest it,
parlay it into some legitimate business
where we could,
where you could actually have a real chance
at a real, you know, serious future,
be a business owner,
property owner, you know,
whatever you're gonna do with the money,
But you gotta,
you gotta have the money when you're done doing this
otherwise, all you did was fuck a bunch of people,
Tommy Gunn: But there's still a stigma
that nobody from the porn industry can act
and that's bullshit,
I would love the opportunity to
go to India and be in Bollywood ah productions,
I love, I understand they,
I understand from a production standpoint,
they're the top in the world who produce movies,
Sunny: Daniel and I believe in a monogamous relationship,
We believe in the idea of just being with each other,
No outside anything,
Daniel: And we get asked this all the time,
People assume from our background
of the industry that we come from,
that we are, into this like-
Sunny: Swinger type of lifestyle Daniel: Yeah,
You know, they ask if she's a prostitute,
or she's an escort,
And I'll go,
"What would make you even assume that?
Because we were both in the adult industry?"
But for us it's offensive,
Sunny: For us there's, yeah,
For us there's no grey line, -And it's offensive to us,
It's very black and white,
I love him, he loves me,
I don't want to have sex with anybody else,
I don't want to be with anybody else,
I don't want to go out on a date with someone else,
I, my whole world revolves around Daniel,
I got out of my relationship in December,
Daniel was getting out of his relationship,
January, we met,
March, my mother died,
So the first time I met her family
was at her mother's wake,
Other than my mother
having an issue with drinking,
There really wasn't a lot of other
things that happened in my house that were traumatic,
Or that were upsetting, umm,
of course we always wanted her to stop,
She drank a lot,
She was, uhh,
we'll say an alcoholic as I was growing up my whole life,
Like our lives, like she,
she drank but, you know,
it was, she never missed a day of work,
She went to work every day,
She made dinner every day,
She supported us every day,
She took us to school every day,
Soccer practice, this practice
so it never really got in the way,
Then as soon as
the whole situation with finding out about my sister
and what she did
really kicked in and it didn't go away
anymore at this point,
She was a full-blown alcoholic in that sense,
She drank every day,
said from starting in the morning till nighttime
and that created a lot of animosity in the household,
you know,
with my father as well because
we were all trying to make her better,
That kind of led up to 2008,
when she went into a full seizure,
like just the plate went flying five feet in the air,
Like she just, seized
and so, I'm freaking out,
everyone's freaking out,
But I'm not freaking out as much as everybody else,
My dad's like,
running over like,,,
A little sad, a little sad,
She came out of the hospital and she started doing wonderful,
She-she stopped drinking and everything like that,
She-she went a few months like,
zero drinking, and stuff like that,
And once again,
as soon as my sister was mentioned,
Uh, and what she does,
she would start up, just like that again,
I watched my mother die in front of me,
Um, I came home,
I was so pissed at myself because
I was working that day
and I should have been home,
and I wasn't,
It's probably my biggest regret um,
in my life,
is not being there for family,
and ah, I asked my mom if she was in pain,
and she said she was in a lot of pain,
and, I gave her
her last dose of morphine
and, she went to sleep,
And it was horrible,
Um, I-I sometimes wonder whether that last dose maybe
I don't know, killed her, did I?
Did I? I don't think that I did that
but,
you know, she died right after,
It was,
it was a natural course of, uh,
the way it was meant to be,
Uh, you know, she,
she didn't have anything left and,
and so it's okay though, you know,
let her uh,
I'm going to breathe for one second,
Sunny: The next traumatic thing was,
finding out my dad has cancer,
Last time I got to spend with my dad
was in San Diego,
Um, on the beach,
and he came out,
And I told him,
"Oh I'm going to have a couple
other friends there, dad" and
he's like, "That's fine",
Um, I go,
"But they call me Sunny dad,
Is that going to be okay
or is that gonna be weird?"
And he's like, "No,
I just want to spend time with you",
I'm sorry,
He was all bundled up in a leather jacket
'cause he was so cold,
and it was summertime,
But he was just so sick,
Um, and, I'm sorry,
So he came out,
we had a wonderful afternoon
and then he went in for surgery
and he had complications during surgery,
Three months later,
July 26th,
he um,
was having internal bleeding
and the surgeon refused to do surgery
because he would bleed out
on his table and die,
So between my brother,
Daniel, and myself,
Mainly me again, um,
had to make,
the decision to say goodbye
and it's the worst
because you feel like you've killed them,
But I had no choice,
I scattered both my parents' ashes in the Ganges
um, which then leads to the sea,
So I believe that,
a part of my parents,
are a part of the sea,
So, I go there,
to ask for their blessings,
because like,
it's the only place that I can go
that I know they're physically a part of,
their ashes are a part of,
Sunny: I go there
and I ask them to bless my movie,
to bless me,
to keep everyone that I know and that I love
safe and happy
and I give them flowers 'cause they love flowers,
It's just that simple,

I don't look at myself and go,
"Oh my gosh, I'm the greatest actress
or dancer",
Or even an adult,
But one thing that I was good at was
turning a quarter into a dollar,
My theory was,
that if I'm going to take my clothes off,
for the world to see,
then I want to make every single penny,
Why should anybody else?
That's what I was good at doing,
If one day I had a little girl or a little boy
and they came home from school and said,
"Mommy, Daddy, this kids from school told me who you are,
Is it true?"
I-I think I would just say the truth:
Mommy made some choices in life
that were her choices and decisions
that made sense to her,
which were to be,
if-if they brought up the idea of adult,
um which would be to, you know,
but I don't know, I'm so confused,
I have no idea,
I don't even know,
The individual that I would raise and
I don't know,
I have no, this is such a hard question,
I have no idea,
I don't even know,
I wouldn't even know where to begin maybe,
I don't know where to begin now
and I don't have,
I don't even have a child,
