Sunny Leone says 'I hated showing my legs when I was younger', reveals how she embraced body positivity
Getting older is also about getting wiser, and making peace with the insecurities you once had about yourself. For actor Sunny Leone, one of the things she has learnt to love about herself that she once tried to hide, has to do with her legs! Sunny Leone shares her body positivity story.(Sunny Leone) In an interview to HT Lifestyle, Sunny Leone reveals: "When I was younger, I hated my legs. I think it's because I was a lighter-skinned Indian girl going to an all-white, predominantly white school with other girls who had lighter hair. And I had dark, Punjabi, dark, thick hair. And I hated showing my legs." What led to body positivity? "As I got older, I realized that, 'Hey, this is not so bad.' And I actually enjoy wearing shorts or a little skirt. That was one thing that I definitely hid. But now, I don't. I'm very comfortable with my body," explains Sunny, who has been nonchalant about flaunting her legs in her famous songs Baby Doll and Pink Lips. At 44, Sunny Leone is enjoying life with her husband and their three children Nisha, Noah and Asher. Her skin glows owing to her healthy diet and skincare habits. With ageing becoming less of a taboo in beauty conversations, we asked Sunny about her take on using cosmetic treatments to maintain skin health and confidence. Here's what she says: "As far as anti-aging goes, most people are always trying to fight the clock. It's about when you look in the mirror as you age, do you like what you see? And if you don't, then I am very liberal... I think if you want to change something, change something. If something makes you feel good - injections, fillers, certain lasers, procedures, tightening, fixing, cutting, sewing it back together, you should definitely do what makes you happy." However, she has a word of caution. "Just make sure that you do your research with the proper doctor, because I have learned the hard way that if you are not comfortable with a doctor, the results can be horrendous and fixing that can take a lot of time. So, make sure you know who you're going to and you trust them," she adds. But as someone constantly in the public eye, how does she protect her sense of self-worth from the expectations of 'looking perfect'? Sunny has a simple formula: "I just make sure that I feel good. I try my best to eat good or eat clean and healthy. Certain things you put in your body definitely show on the outward." Meat is one of those things for Sunny Leone, who is a supporter of People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). "I think that the amount of hormones and preservatives and things that go into meat products or animal products, is something that's not good for me and I will not go down that route. Eating clean and exercising is definitely a good way to begin your path towards feeling good or whatever your perfect is," she says.

Sunny Leone on Pink Lips going viral on Reels: I'm happy it's on everybody's playlist again
One of the biggest perks of Reels is that sometimes it brings back some old classics to the fore that have either been forgotten or gone through their peak. Recently, a similar thing happened with Sunny Leone's song Pink Lips from Hate Story 2 (2014). The song got suddenly viral on Instagram Reels and the actor is herself surprised about this revived interest in the song. Sunny Leone in Pink Lips 'I had no idea about it until my team and I were travelling together one day and my manager said, 'Pink Lips is everywhere right now'. It didn't make sense and I asked, why, what happened? But it was so exciting and after I found out, I went on Instagram and saw some clips. It was amazing,' she says, adding, 'I'm happy it's on everybody's playlist again and they are enjoying it.' The song going viral brought back the memories of shooting for it too. Sunny Leone shares, 'I remember everything that happened on that set. I still recall how difficult it was during rehearsals, sometimes even frustrating. But the choreography was so cool and after going on set, everything felt amazing. When we shot it, I never thought that it will go viral one day like this. I just want to thank everybody for bringing back this amazing song. The song went viral back at the time of release and now it's back. I want to get to the bottom and find that one person who revived it. I want to meet them and say thank you.' Throughout her career, Sunny has done many special songs which have become hits, including Baby Doll from Ragini MMS 2 (2014) and Laila Main Laila from Raees (2016). The actor takes pride in the fact that her filmography includes these songs that are still revered. 'It does feel good as everywhere that I go, these songs get played. One of the first songs I did was Laila (from Shootout At Wadala, 2013), and it was John (Abraham, actor) who had turned to me and said, 'Trust me, people will be dancing and singing this song forever'. I didn't understand it at that time because I had just come into this industry, so I didn't know what he was talking about and what that meant. But he was right in every single way. When that song gets played today, it's awesome to hear it,' she says. However, Sunny laments the lack of effort that is put in promoting songs in films today. 'When I first came into this industry, and I'm sure a lot of people would agree with this, there was such a huge momentum behind releasing a song and it was incredible. I mean, your entire film could ride on that one song being amazing, because people loved going to the theatre to see that one song on the big screen,' she says. Reflecting on the change, the actor states, 'What's happened lately in the last five years or so is that even though good songs come in, they just come and go. They're amazing, but they don't stick. I really hope that all those artistes that are out there, their songs get that same love that some of my songs got when they were released. I would love to see that time come back where people would just come, get excited about listening to a film's music and go to the theatres to enjoy it on the big screen.'

Shefali Jariwala Fell For Parag Tyagi After Painful Divorce With Harmeet Singh: 'There Was Mental Violence'
Shefali Jariwala once opened up about her past marriage with Harmeet Singh, emotional abuse, and how she found love again with Parag Tyagi after walking away. Shefali Jariwala, who rose to fame with the iconic music video Kaanta Laga in the early 2000s, passed away at the age of 42. A popular name in the world of entertainment, Shefali would often make headlines for her beautiful photos with her husband, Parag Tyagi. However, not many know that this was her second stint in marriage. Before she met actor Parag, Shefali had already lived through a difficult chapter in her personal life. The Kaanta Laga girl was previously married to music composer Harmeet Singh from the Meet Brothers duo. He is known for composing songs such as Main Tera Boyfriend, Baby Doll, Pink Lips, Radhe Radhe, and others. She met Harmeet after Kaanta Laga made her famous and later worked with Meet Brothers on songs like Pyaar Humein Kis Mode Pe Le Aaya. The two tied the knot in 2004, but their relationship came to an end five years later under troubling circumstances. Their divorce made headlines in 2009 after Shefali accused Harmeet of domestic abuse. Speaking about that period in an interview with Times Now, she had once reflected on the lack of emotional support in the marriage, which eventually affected her mental health. 'It is very important to understand that you are not being appreciated. Not every kind of violence is physical. There is a lot of mental violence that also happens, and you are very unhappy in your life," she had said. Following the divorce, life gave Shefali a second chance at love. She met television actor Parag Tyagi through a mutual friend at a dinner gathering. At the time, she was single and open to meeting someone new. 'We really liked each other a lot and hit it off instantly. Parag and I are very similar and different in many ways. I think we kind of balance each other out," she told the publication recalling their first meeting. Parag Tyagi is known for acting in Pavitra Rishta and Jodha Akbar. He also took part in the dance reality show Nach Baliye with Shefali in 2012, where he eventually proposed her.

As their separation made its way through the legal system, Shefali is said to have alleged that Harmeet had inflicted emotional and physical harm on her. In previous conversations with Times Now, she opened up about her inner turmoil, revealing that a lack of emotional validation combined with ongoing psychological strain led her to make the painful yet crucial choice of walking away from the marriage. For her, continuing in that environment meant compromising her well-being—something she ultimately decided she could no longer endure.

There is a lot of mental violence that also happens, and you are very unhappy in your life..." she told the publication. Shefali found love again in actor Parag Tyagi. The duo tied the knot in 2014. Shefali Jariwala's last rites took place on Saturday evening at the Oshiwara Hindu cremation ground in Mumbai. The ceremonial rites were conducted by her husband, Parag Tyagi, alongside her father, Satish, and her sister, Shivani. Several close friends and colleagues from the entertainment world came together to pay their last respects, including familiar faces like Shehnaaz Gill, Mika Singh, and Vikas Gupta. Fellow Bigg Boss 13 housemates—Mahira Sharma, Arti Singh, and Rashami Desai—visited her home to personally express their sympathy and stand by the grieving family. Himanshi Khurana took to social media to post a nostalgic photograph of Shefali, and in an emotional note, referred to Bigg Boss 13 as 'cursed,' citing the loss of Sidharth Shukla, her own relationship ending, and now the untimely death of Shefali as painful blows tied to that chapter
