Is Sunny Leone’s real name Karen Malhotra or Karenjit Kaur Vohra?

A new controversy has erupted over adult film sensation Sunny Leone! And once again it’s over her name.!

Until now, it was said that the Canadian adult film star’s real name was Karen Malhotra. But latest findings have revealed that it is Karenjit Kaur Vohra. This has been ascertained on various websites which have carried a picture of her passport sporting her actual name from childhood.

It is also said that her surname ‘Leone’ was coined from ‘lioness’ because she is a Punjabi Kaur. Taking off on this fact, Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar remarked, “A lioness is a lioness, whether you call her a Kaur Vohra, Malhotra of Leone. After all, what’s in a name? It’s the mindset, intelligence, intellect and personality that make a gritty lady what she is. And Brand Sunny Leone has that grit in abundance.”

Wow! That’s some praise coming from a publicist who has mastered the art of controversy, having handled some of the biggest controversial names in Bollywood, including Shilpa Shetty, Priyanka Chopra, Sherlyn Chopra, Rakhi Sawant as well as highly discussed films like Don and Rock On!!

For the record, Sunny who participated in Bigg Boss Season 5, will now be seen in Pooja Bhatt’s Jism 2 and is also speculated to star in Ekta Kapoor’s sequel to Ragini MMS.

It's official, Chahat Khanna and Kanan Malhotra are in love

There are so many actors who have always been open about their relationship, some initially deny and then later accept it.

Rumours abour Chahat (Ayesha of 'Bade Achche Lagte Hai') dating Kanan Malhotra(last seen as Dhruv of 'Sawaare Sabke Sapne - Preeto') were making rounds for the past few months.

Love bug bitten Chahat initially denied that she is romantically involved with Kanan. Now she finally decided to open up and make her relationship status public.

“We are dating each other from last 1 and a half year. We did a mock shoot for Zee TV’s ‘Apno Ke Liye Geeta Ka Dharamyudh’. Kanan went on to do the show and I opted out due to other commitments. We kept meeting then and gradually fall in love,” Chahat narrates.

Chahat is all gaga about her man in life. “He is caring and well behaved man.”

What makes him different from other guys, “Everyone wants best partner but we forgot what we are. I believe aap jaise hote hoo aapko waisa hii partner milta hai, I find myself in Kanan. He is literally an exact replica of me,” says Chahat.

Why you denied being in a relationship , “We are very private people, I don’t want to open up about my relationship at earlier stage. We decided to tie the knot may be in the year end so finally I decided not to shy away from talking about my love life.”

We wish you both a happy and blessed life ahead..!

Foreign bombshells bombard Bollywood

Bollywood seems obsessed with foreign bombshells! And why not? One after the other, the international beauties seem to keep making a mark. So the list is growing.

Arab Brazilian model Bruna Abdullah generated quite a buzz with I Hate Love Storys alongside Imran Khan and Sonam Kapoor, while Welsh model Lisa Lazarus impressed with Salman Khan in Veer. Swedish-Iranian model and dancer Maryam Zakaria got a chance to shake a leg with Kareena Kapoor in Agent Vinod; that too for a mujra number.

Half-Sri Lankan half-Malaysian beauty Jacqueline Fernandez has been managing to bag quite a few movies like Housefull, Murder 2, Housefull 2 and even Aladin; co-starring megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

Half-Czech half-Pakistani American fashion model and actress Nargis Fakhri became a sensation of sorts opposite Ranbir Kapoor in Rockstar, while South African Playboy model Candice Boucher romanced dashing debutant Sachiin Joshi in Aazaan. Not to forget the Uruguayan-Mexican actress and model Barbara Mori who starred opposite Hrithik Roshan in Kites.

That’s not all! There has been another Brazilian model Giselle Monteiro in Love Aaj Kal, Canadian model Mia Uyeda in Blood Money, British-born Amy Jackson in Ekk Deewana Tha, Irish-born British granddaughter of Charlie Chaplin, Kiera Chaplin in Chaurahen, Russian model Era Tsariova in Cigarette Ki Tarah and Indian Brazilian model Nathalia Kaur in Department.

And as if so many foreign beauties weren’t enough, the latest to join the firang-babes bandwagon is the stunningly beautiful half-German half-Indian international model Evelyn Sharma, who has managed to bag more than three movies even before her first release.

Her impressive line-up includes Manish Tiwary's Issaq opposite Prateik Babbar, veteran filmmaker Pramod Chakravorty's grandson Prateek Chakravorty’s debut film From Sydney With Love, and a pivotal role in Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani; the Ranbir Kapoor-Deepika Padukone starrer under Karan Johar's banner Dharma Productions.

So what makes Evelyn so special than all the other hotties? A surprising fact is that the girl has already completed over a hundred assignments in India in the last few months, since migrating here! Plus, inspite of her half-foreign origins, she dubs in Hindi for herself! Way to go girl!
