Sunny Leone: Daniel makes me feel special every day; don’t need a birthday for that

Actor Sunny Leone turns 35 today. She recounts her fondest birthday memories and the most cherished gift she has ever got from husband Daniel Weber. The two are celebrating in a quiet and intimate way in LA.

Actor Sunny Leone turns 35 today, and she’s ringing in her birthday with her husband, Daniel Weber, in Los Angeles. The actor is quite unlike other Bollywood stars who celebrate their birthdays with pomp and big parties. About the birthday plans, she says, “I’ll hopefully get to see my friends and brother. That’s all I can ask for or need for my birthday. I just like quiet dinners and seeing family. I’m quite simple that way and not the birthday celebrating type.”

Recalling her fondest birthday memories, Sunny goes down memory lane and says it was with her parents. “My last birthday that I cherish was when my parents were still alive — my mother baking me a cake, and the four of us together, and getting hugs and kisses and love from my family,” says the actor, who has been part of films such as Jism 2 (2012), Ragini MMS (2014) and Ek Paheli Leela (2015).

And any special gift that she will never forget? “An emerald necklace that Daniel gave me. It has one of his mother’s diamonds in it — a family diamond — because I never got that from my parents when I got married.”

Other than this, has Daniel ever done anything special to make her birthday memorable? Sunny quips, “Daniel makes me feel special every day. I don’t need a birthday for that. He’s always thinking of me and getting me special gifts, small or big. It’s always with a lot of love.”

Though Sunny admits that she likes surprises, she doesn’t look forward to her birthday for any surprise gifts. “I don’t actually expect anything from anyone,” she says. “I only want my husband and brother to wish me happy birthday and the rest is icing on the cake.”
