DP: Are you a go-getter? SL: I believe so. If you tell me I can't have it then I want it even more. But for me, this is an opportunity going in a different direction. This particular moment that I was invited in the Big Boss house was the exact moment that changed my life.
DP: But what's with this issue people have of you being an adult movie star? SL: I have no idea. I am like everyone else. I chose a different profession and that's how I saw it. I was the only adult celebrity who did least amount of work and got most amount of fame. So, I accomplish everything that I ever wanted to. I've reached every high in my life. I wasn't trying for it. It naturally happened. Today you are sitting with me because I am Sunny Leone. No one would know who Sunny is and no one would care. If I came to India just like that, you wouldn't have known me. But when someone comes up to me and tells me, "Wow! You are so different". I say, "No, I am just like you".
DP: How would you like your 'date' to end or you are one of those - go-with-the-flow types? SL: I am the go-with-the-flow type. However if the 'date' is going to end, it will end. Hopefully it would end in a good way. I've never gone on a date with somebody that I wasn't physically attracted to, that I can just afterwards say - 'you know what, you are my friend'. If a date doesn't go well, there's a reason why it doesn't go well. I've met a lot of different people but I think then I met my perfect match in Daniel.
DP: Did he have to work hard? SL: (laughs) Yes, he did have to work really hard.
DP: Name five actors you are really urging to work with in this industry. SL: I don't have a problem with anyone. I want to work with everyone. The question is - Do the rest want to work with me?
DP: But there is a sense of insecurity amongst actresses wanting to work with you SL: I am comfortable working with anyone. Having said that, there might be a little sense of insecurity but I consider my stars lucky in being successful in some way. So far I feel really blessed. The public likes me and that's what I care about. Of course, there are ups and downs in anyone's career but so far so good. There are people out there who are giving me chances to work as an actress that I feel really proud about. Right now, I have four movies in a row. That means I have four more chances to win somebody over (laughs).

DP: Ok, that was quite heavy. You did give a few people back. SL: Did I? I Don't know. But I want to be in movies. I want to entertain people and now this is my world.
DP: Who's the weirdest guy you've met who you still got attracted to? Something that did charm you about his weirdness I meant. SL: Now that's a question! (laughs). Someone I met and I screw** it up by dating him. He was Russell Peters. When I see him, he is funny, he looks quirky, he is super super nice, very generous, and a complete package of a really nice guy but it just didn't really work out. I didn't think that I would've dated him in million years.
DP: Somebody's gonna get a hurt real bad! SL: (Laughs) Yes, he did that line quite funny. He would get up at 4 o'clock India time. Isn't that weird? (laughs).

DP:Ragini MMS 2 is the genre you love the most - horror-comedy... SL: Yes. This is completely different horror. It's niche driven. My husband hates horror but he has no option this time. There is lots of humour. I know there's one character in the film that people will fall in love with so much. Not me. You need to wait and watch.
DP: Correct me if I'm wrong. When God wasn't doing anything, he created Sunny Leone. All flesh and bones. SL: (laughs) I don't think so. I am like everybody else as you said - flesh and bones. That's funny. I need to write that down. But you do know how to bring out the best pick up line. I'll remember this.
DP: What about friends? Do you miss your friends back in the U.S? SL: Tanveer from Balaji is a good friend now. He lives next door and we get along well. I still keep in touch with the few people from the Big Boss show. Pooja Bedi lives very close to me too. We went to a movie theatre with her a few days ago. And yes, my friends in L.A, I miss them a lot but my life is in Mumbai right now. So I need a few friends I can be certain of.
You know it's going to be a good day when you begin your day with Sunny Leone. For a change, I was ending it with her. Doesn't really matter. It's just that a bit of insomnia could trigger in and it did. But even though it's a beautiful day, I wish I had the shades. Staring at Sunny Leone could be hazardous. Yes, she is one of the most desirable women. From head to toe, her beauty is unique, dramatic and urgent. When on-screen, she doesn't need to do much as we have willingly handed over to her, our complete and devoted attention. I have. But the more I chat with Sunny, the more she doesn't play the fame card. What more can I tell you about a woman you've been obsessed with for most of your adult life? Her determination to reinvent herself as a seriously hot actress has paid off in spades. But the question everyone's asking is - Will Sunny Leone establish herself as that rare beauty who can actually act? I find out more as our 'DATE' continues...
Presenting you - Part 2 of On A Date with Sunny Leone
Devansh Patel: You are too punctual. You came here dot on time. 6 pm it was. Sunny Leone: (laughs) Yes. We were taking a u-turn to come to your office and I said to Daniel, "It's 5.57pm and we've made it on time." But such is the way we work. We like to be on time wherever we are called, besides the Mumbai traffic that we can't beat, but we deal with a no-bullsh** routine - we want to work, we want to get there on time, we want to do the shoot and finish the interview. I get crazy anxiety if I get late.
DP: I'm sure you were on time for your Ragini MMS 2 movie too. SL: Yes. You guessed it right. Even if there's no one there, I'll be sitting. I was the first one to arrive at the workshops of Ragini MMS 2. We've finished filming one love song and now there are other two remaining.
