In an interview with Mid-Day, Sunny Leone discussed the background of her decision to change her name from Karenjit Kaur Vohra to Sunny. Sunny said, "I was in the US doing an interview for a magazine and they asked, 'What do you want your name to be?'" At that time, I was at a loss for words. I worked for the accounting department, the human resources department, and another agent at a tax and retirement agency. Along with helping with all of these things, I also worked as a receptionist. 

I was conducting the interview in this location, and I was aware that I needed to hang up the phone quickly and return to my business or I would be discovered. When they asked what I wanted my name to be, I responded, "Use Sunny as my first name, and you can choose the last name."

Sunny is my brother's nickname, the Jism 2 actress continued. Sandeep Singh is his name; Sunny is how we refer to him. I named myself Sunny, which my mother detested. You chose that name out of all the others, she questioned. I said, "Yeah, that's just what came to mind." The last name was then chosen by the magazine, and I just retained it.

Sunny Leone entered the entertainment industry in 2011 with Bigg Boss, however the sole role she was given was in a film. She later made her significant Bollywood debut with Pooja Bhatt's suspenseful Jism 2 and quickly rose to fame in the business.
