Sunny Leone Opens up on Her Past Relationship With Russell Peters

Explaining how she went all ‘silly’ with him and they had a lot of fun together, she added, “He and I were such good friends and we had so much fun together. Everywhere I’d travel to in the US, there were a lot of places where he was because he was doing a show. And we’d just meet, have fun, drink, go out, and just be really silly and really funny. And all of a sudden, we messed up by just going on a date.”

Sunny said it was right after her breakup with Russell that she met Daniel and found her life partner in him. The two got married in 2011 after which she flew back to India and became a Bollywood actor. The actor also released a series on her life on ZEE5 in which a character named Rusty was based on Russell. In the show though, there’s a scene in which Daniel goes on to beat Rusty after he cracks a joke on Sunny – something that Sunny later clarified was an exaggerated scene that had no reference to her real-life.

Sunny and Daniel are now parents to daughter Nisha Kaur Weber, and sons Noah and Asher.
