Karen Malhotra was born in Sarnia, Ontario to Indian parents and was raised a Sikh.5 Her father was born in Tibet and raised in Delhi, while her mother (who passed away in 20086) was from a small town called Nahan in Himachal Pradesh although both of Punjabi origin.78 As a young girl, she was very athletic and played street hockey with the boys,2 enjoyed ice skating on a nearby frozen lake and drinking hot chocolate in front of a fire after playing in the snow all day.9
Her parents enrolled her in a Catholic school,105 where she had her first kiss at 11, lost her virginity to a basketball player at another school at 16,10 and found out she was bisexual at 18.11 When she was 15, her family received their green card8 and migrated to the United States. They first moved to Fort Gratiot, Michigan, then to Lake Forest, California10 before finally settling down in Orange County, California fulfilling a dream of her grandparents that all of them be together in one place.1 She graduated from high school in 1999 and proceeded to enroll in college.
Before working in the entertainment industry, she first worked at a German bakery,12 a Jiffy Lube,10 and later a tax and retirement firm.3
While studying to be a pediatric nurse in Orange County, a classmate who was an exotic dancer introduced Leone to John Stevens, an agent who in turn introduced her to Jay Allen, a photographer for Penthouse magazine.8When picking a name for her adult career, she has said that Sunny is her real name and Leone was picked by Bob Guccione, former owner of Penthouse magazine.13 She posed for Penthouse magazine, and was named Penthouse Pet of the Month for the March 2001 issue, followed by a feature in the Holiday 2001 edition of Hustler magazine as a Hustler Honey. She has appeared in other magazines including Cheri,14 Mystique Magazine,15 High Society, Swank, AVN Online, Leg World, Club International and Lowrider,1617 while her online credits include ModFX Models,18 Suze Randall19 and Mac & Bumble.20 Her most recent pictorial award was the Danni.com Girl of the Month for March 2008.Her pictorial credits also include working stars like Adriana Sage, Jenna Jameson, Jelena Jensen and Aria Giovanni.
In 2003, she was declared the Penthouse Pet of the Year and also starred in the video Penthouse Pets in Paradise alongside Tera Patrick and Kyla Cole. In addition to her print work, she had also done pantyhose modeling with Ed Fox and Playtime Videos as well as bondage videos for FM Concepts. In 2005 Adam & Eve appointed her as their West Coast Internet Sales Representative.21
That same year, Leone signed a three-year contract with Vivid Entertainment with which she transitioned into the world of hardcore pornography, stating that she would only do lesbian scenes.2 Her first movie released was titled Sunny22 and was released in December 2005. Her next movie, Virtual Vivid Girl Sunny Leone, was the first interactive title for Leone, who was the first Vivid Girl to make such a movie.23 Taking only four days to film,12 the movie won her her first AVN award (Best Interactive DVD). She followed this with Sunny Loves Cher, which featured her first on-screen squirting,and The Female Gardner co-starring Mikayla Mendez and Daisy Marie.
Leone's last two movies under her contract with Vivid were It's Sunny in Brazil, which was filmed in Brazil.24 and The Sunny Experiment also starring Monique Alexander and Brea Lynn.25 The movies were released in October and December 2007 respectively.
In May 2007, upon re-signing her contract with Vivid for another six films, Leone agreed to perform for the first time with men on camera, but exclusively with her fiancé, Matt Erikson.26 That summer she also received breast augmentation,27 and shot her first movie under the new contract titled Sunny Loves Matt. The movie led to her to be nominated for three (out of six) AVN awards in 2009 in addition to being a choice for Female Performer of the Year.28 She followed up her first boy-girl title with The Other Side of Sunny in October 2008, which would be the last time she would perform with Erikson.
In January 2008, Leone revealed that she was no longer exclusive to Erikson, and had done scenes with other actors, most notably Tommy Gunn, Charles Dera, James Deen,29 and Voodoo.30 In August of that same year, she announced the launch of her own studio, Sunlust Pictures, with Daniel Weber as her partner.31 With her new venture Leone plans to write, direct and create her own brand of adult movies with Vivid Entertainment as her distributor.29 Her first independent production, The Dark Side of the Sun, was released in March 2009, and was debuted at the Erotic Heritage Museum in Las Vegas.32In June 2009, she held a casting call in Las Vegas for her second independent production titled Sunny Slumber Party. 33

She has two titles under Vivid which have yet to be released namely Sunny Extreme and Sunny's Dream.
Leone has also built a sizable online presence with her official website, sunnyleone.com, along with affiliate sites sunnysmoney.com and sunnysfriends.com. She has managed to leverage her online popularity by striking deals with firms like PPPcard,39 AdultPokerParty.com,40 Brickhouse,41 Flirt4Free,42 Totemcash43 and Imlive44 to sell and distribute her content over the internet and other media.She most recently updated her website in 2009 to include high definition audio and video, new hardcore material; and news updates to work in conjunction with her Twitter and Facebook pages. For her online efforts, she won the "Web Babe of the Year" at the 2008 Xbiz Awards.45 Her websites and business interests are run under her banner company Leone L.L.C.

In October 2008, citing greater control of her schedule and appearances, Leone left her long-standing talent agency L.A. Direct with the intention of representing herself for future promotions.57 Although the official statement claimed that Leone parted ways with L.A. Direct on amicable terms, reports surfaced that the agency found Leone's new manager difficult to work with, and was straining the relationship between the actress and L.A. Direct.58 She is currently represented by Gold Star Modeling and her publicist is April Storm of Versatile Media Group.59
Leone's first mainstream appearance was in 2005, when she was a red carpet reporter for the MTV Awards on MTV India.

In 2008, Leone announced that she would be starring in a mainstream action adventure movie titled Pirates Blood , which was shot in Oman. The shooting was completed in two weeks and was to be released in Winter 2008.6364 Leone also landed a role in Middle Men, producer Chris Mallick's indie feature about the birth of the online porn industry set for wide theatrical release in 2009.65
In 2004, she was part of "No More Bush Girls", in which she and several other popular adult actresses shaved off their pubic hair in protest of the Bush presidency.66 In May 2008, she shot a promotional video for Declare Yourself -a nonprofit, nonpartisan voter registration campaign targeting 18-to-29-year-olds.67 She indicated that Barack Obama would be her choice in the 2008 US Election, primarily because she felt he was more business friendly to the adult industry than his opponent John Mccain.68 She also released a public service announcement on behalf of the ASACP, reminding adult webmasters to protect their sites from children by having an RTA label on it.69
Leone has made appearances at events such as the 2002 SEMA International Auto Salon, the 2002 Extreme Autofest Pomona and the 2006 World Series of Poker in Las Vegas.70 Sunny has also been the hostess at events in clubs like the Mansion in Miami71 and the Highlands in Hollywood.72
In 2005, she was mentioned in Forbes magazine for a story on Vivid Entertainment.73Sunny has also been featured in mainstream publications like FHM, Front and Jane magazine59.
Leone was a contestant in the second season of the Fox reality show "My Bare Lady 2: Open For Business", in which a group of adult actresses were given classes and training on how to pitch investment ideas and competed for success in the business world.74
In 2007, along with the other Vivid Girls, she was seen in a 48' high holiday Billboard in Times Square at W. 48th Street and Seventh Avenue.75 Leone is also one of the Penthouse Pets who appears in the Play Station Portable game Pocket Pool.
She was also featured in a coffee table book titled Naked Ambition: An R-rated Look at an X-rated Industry by Micheal Grecco.76
She has indicated that for the right price she would seriously consider a career in Bollywood.77 She has been courted by Indian directors in the past but has felt uncomfortable with the roles that she would have played.1378 Director Mohit Suri is rumored to have asked Leone to play the lead role in his movie Kalyug, but instead cast Deepal Shaw as he could not afford her $1 million acting fee.79 She has mentioned that Aamir Khan is her favorite Bollywood Actor.80
In June 2006, Leone became an American citizen,12 but has plans to be a dual citizen of Canada.81 Though bisexual, she has stated that she prefers men. In her spare time she enjoys abstract paintings, horse riding, reading, playing World of Warcraft,82 and enjoys watching The Simpsons and The Discovery Channel.83 She used to play on a women's soccer league team in California.2 Her favorite holiday destination is Hawaii,12 and her favorite cuisine is Italian.83
In separate interviews, she has stated that in ten years time she would like to be married and have started a family, and probably retire from the industry by the time she is 30.81 Leone was engaged to Matt Erikson, a vice-president of marketing at Playboy Enterprises,84 but they broke up in 2008, and is currently dating her business partner Daniel Webber. She currently resides in Hollywood, California with her cat and drives an Audi A5.10
Leone does her best to maintain a link to Sikh traditions, even if more in theory than in practice (see Sikhism's Views on Pornography). But she’s unlikely to disavow her career path due to religion. "Girls will leave the industry claiming that they found God," she says. "Well, the fact is, God has always been with them the entire time."5
