Sunny Leone, a leading porn star who was born to Punjabi parents hailing from New Delhi, is getting married. Penthouse Pet of the Year 2003, the California-based buxom brunette is planning a big fat Punjabi wedding as well as an American one in March next year.

Sunny Leone — the adopted name of the Sikh girl — is grateful to the adult entertainment industry for introducing her to her fiance, Matt Erickson, a senior executive with a major adult company.

“We met at an adult web master convention and have been dating for four years,” said the 26-year-old. Matt is the only male with whom she has enacted the sex act for a film that is to be released next year. So far, she has done only girl-on-girl films.

Born in Sarnia in Canada’s Ontario province, Sunny moved with her family to California as a teenager. She studied to be a nurse and tried modelling but did not succeed because of her height — only 5 feet, 4 inches. Her life changed when a friend introduced her to nude modelling. Her exotic looks brought her the Penthouse title and later a contract with Vivid Entertainment, an erotic film production company. Vivid’s first interactive DVD, Virtual Vivid Girl Sunny Leone, won an industry award this year. She was also offered a role in a Bollywood movie, which has fizzled out.
