In an interview with Mid-Day, Sunny Leone revealed about the time she was approached for the popular reality show Bigg Boss and how she thought the money would help her in getting her dream home. She said, “I just thought that after I come home in a week or two, I can put a down payment on a house. I just got married, so we were looking forward to this idea of starting our life, and we were like, ‘Great, we’re gonna be able to buy a house or put a down payment on a house’. Then that was it, it was that simple.”

For the unversed, during her stint in the Bigg Boss house, it was visited by filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt, who was one of the guests on the show. He was impressed by Leone and went on to offer her the first Hindi film, Jism 2. Sunny, who hails from the US, confessed that she had no idea about Bhatt or his work. “At that moment, I didn’t think it was real, because I didn’t even know who he was. They just said this is so and so from the film industry, and everybody else was going bananas in the house. This whole buzz was happening, and I was like, ‘Okay, fine, great. I don’t know who he is but he is probably amazing’,” she added.

Interestingly, currently the director of Jism 2, Pooja Bhatt is in the Bigg Boss OTT house as one of the key contestants of the show.
