Working in films not going to be forever for me: Sunny Leone

July 10, 2016

Mumbai, Jul 10: Actress Sunny Leone says being a part of films is not going to be forever for her.

sunnyThe adult film star made her comeback to India with popular reality show "Bigg Boss" season five in 2011 followed by her debut film "Jism 2" the next year.

Sunny feels it is important for anyone who is in the entertainment industry to branch out and try other things.

"For me, it can't be just about the movies. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in. If you want to be successful as a business person or an entertainment person, you have to branch out in every way possible," Leone told PTI.

"For me making movies is not going to be forever, it can't be. It is not going to last. The big question always is- what is the plan then?" the "Mastizaade" star said.

After her debut film, Sunny went on to work in several movies like "Jackpot", "Ragini MMS 2" and "Ek Paheli Leela". She recently shot an item song with superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his upcoming film "Raees".

The 35-year-old actress says she wants to make the most of the opportunity coming her way with no "fear" of not getting any work in the future.

"It's not a fear, it is a reality. When you're doing well, it feels this is going to last forever, so many offers come in. Luckily for me, those offers are there and everything is going amazing now."

"But this is the time that if I don't take the money I am making and invest it into something bigger than who I am, or could be bigger than what I am now, then I am silly," she added.

Sunny has now branched out and launched her own perfume brand, "Lust".

The actress, who was last seen in "One Night Stand", says the decision to launch her perfume line was not impulsive.

"I am very calculated, so is my husband. We take calculated risks and invest in things. Nothing is done impulsively. We decide what is the best and this was the perfect thing to do," Leone said.

The actress, who already has an online app-based game after her and has also penned a short stories, said she wanted to start her perfume line as she is a 'product junkie'.

Los Angeles, Apr 12: Pop star Rihanna has asked her fans, who are demanding her to release her new album soon, to back off as her prime focus right now is doing her bit in saving the world from the coronavirus pandemic.

Rihanna has been teasing new for quite some time now and eager admirers got an earful from her during an Instagram Live. Her last studio album was 'Anti' which was released in 2016.

Rihanna's non-profit organisation Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF) and Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey recently donated USD 2.1 million each to help victims of domestic violence in Los Angeles during the COVID-19 stay-at-home order.

Also CLF and and rapper Jay-Z's Shawn Carter Foundation donated USD 2 million to support undocumented workers, the incarcerated, homeless and elderly populations, and children of frontline healthcare workers in Los Angeles and New York City amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Earlier, Rihanna, through CLF, also donated USD 5 million to support Direct Relief, Partners In Health, Feeding America, the International Rescue Committee and World Health Organization's COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund as they continue to fight the pandemic in the US, the Caribbean and Africa.

New Delhi, Jun 24: Actor Bhumi Pednekar supported migrant labourers traveling long distances amid the coronavirus pandemic, in a rather unique way- by donating footwear to them.

The gut-wrenching images of migrants walking barefoot on the roads made the 'Pati Patni Aur Woh' actor take the plunge to help them.

Pednekar joined hands with a footwear company and a volunteer-based non-government organisation - The Robin Hood Army - to help the underprivileged with footwear.

The actor helped over 1000 migrant labourers in and around Ghaziabad in Murad Nagar, Govindpuram, Vijay Nagar, and distributed footwear among men and women across age-groups.

Mumbai, Jul 6: Mumbai Police on Monday recorded the statement of filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali in connection with actor Sushant Singh Rajput's death.

The director arrived at Bandra Police Station on Monday morning to give his statement.

As per reports, late actor Sushant was approached by Bhansali for his 2013 film "Goliyon Ki Rasleela: Ram-Leela". However, Sushant could not take up the offer reportedly due to his contract with a production house. Later Ranveer Singh was signed for the role. The female lead was played by Deepika Padukone and the film turned out to be a commercial success.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Police has, over the past weeks, recorded statements of Sushant's family, staff, a few of his friends, and Rhea Chakraborty, besides filmmaker Mukesh Chhabra and actress Sanjana Sanghi who worked with the late actor in his upcoming last film "Dil Bechara".
