Sonil Dedhia in Mumbai
It is said that behind every successful man is a woman, but behind the success of Sunny Leone is her husband Daniel Weber.
A guitarist with a Los Angeles-based rock band called The Disparrows, Weber became a part of the adult entertainment industry after he began dating Leone.
Webber is Leone's business partner and helms their production company, Sun Lust Pictures, and also manages all her assignments.
Dressed in a crisp white formal shirt and grey trousers, Weber talks to Sonil Dedhia in an exclusive interview about the business and personal side of his relationship with Sunny.
Are you excited that Sunny Leone is getting into mainstream Hindi films with Jism-2?
Yes! I want her to do well but at the same time, it's only mainstream cinema.
She has been a part of Bigg Boss and she has worked in films back in the USA and Canada.
As far as Jism-2 goes, it feels great but it is nothing new for me or for Sunny.
Since you handle Sunny's work, tell us how Bigg Boss happened.
About 10 months before the show, I got an email from Viacom 18 and Colors channel stating that they wanted Sunny Leone to participate in Bigg Boss.
I declined the offer because I was not sure if India was ready for her and it might be too controversial.
I discussed it with her and initially Sunny refused.
After a couple of days, I asked her again. She told me to talk to the organisers about the money that was offered. Over a few months we negotiated and finally we decided to go ahead.
