Mumbai, Jan 17 (IANS): From being an adult film actress to creating waves in Bollywood, Sunny Leone has come a long way in the past few years. The Indo-Canadian talent credits her husband Daniel Weber for her success.

The duo got married in 2011.

"I would have been nothing if Daniel wasn't by my side," Sunny said during the shooting of UTV Stars' show "Breakfast to Dinner".

She said that at first, “I wanted him to reject me, so I went late for my first date with Daniel."

But destiny had other plans for them.

Sunny said that she owes her husband, who is also her manager, as he stood beside her through thick and thin.

A known name in the world of pornography, Sunny made inroads into Indian entertainment when she participated in reality show "Bigg Boss 5". Her appearance on the show set the ball rolling for her as far as getting work in Bollywood was concerned.

Sunny, whose real name is Karen Malhotra, got her first break with 2012 film "Jism 2". Following that, she was seen in a special song in "Shootout at Wadala" and then a full-fledged role in "Jackpot".

She is looking forward to the release of "Ragini MMS 2" later this year and hopes that the Indian film fraternity and the audience accept her in different roles and take her seriously as a performer.

The episode of "Breakfast To Dinner", featuring Sunny will air Sunday.
