The name “Sunny Leone” is more popular as a porn star, but she is also a businesswoman and actress right now. I’m not a big fan of porn movies, but her sensual look in Jism 2 provoked me to check her history, and I was very much impressed with the way she was, and she is right now. Her recent flick Ragini MMS 2 releases this week, and we would like to show you some interesting Sunny Leone facts which you might not know.
