Indo-Canadian adult film star Sunny Leone is happy for getting noticed but is not sure if she has
made her mark in Bollywood. Before making her Bollywood debut in 'Jism 2', Sunny had
participated in the fifth season of the reality show 'Bigg Boss'.

Sunny also did a special song in 'Shootout at Wadala' and was seen next in 'Jackpot' and 'Ragini MMS 2'.
 "I think I have been noticed and I am happy about it. I am happy where I have reached today. I don't know if I have made a mark for myself here. I want to do good work, have fun
and entertain people," Sunny told PTI in an exclusive interview here.
 "I have done only three films. I still have to work hard. I want more and more people to watch and enjoy my films.
It is a steady process. I think one should work hard and prove
oneself in dancing, acting and bringing in ticket sales (box
office)," she said.

Sunny is happy with the audience response to 'Ragini MMS
2'.
 "I wasn't expecting the film to do this well. I thank my fans for watching the film. I wonder how can one film change things," she added.
 Post the success of 'Ragini MMS 2', Sunny has been getting a lot of offers but she is in no hurry to do any film.

"Offers are coming in. I think people have realised I am not here just for five minutes (on screen), I love this world. I will continue to work hard and do amazing work. I am
sure acceptance will come," Sunny said.

Responding to a query that she was looking for an
image-makeover, Sunny said that she did not set any rules for
herself. "That is not true, I don't know where this came from. I
don't set any rules, limits for myself," the actress said.

show, 'Spiltsvilla', based on original American version
'Flavour of Love'. The show will be aired on MTV India.

"When I was doing promotion for 'Ragini MMS 2', I did few
episodes of MTV's show 'Haunted Nights with Sunny'. It was a
nice experience. They (MTV) approached me for Spiltsvilla and
I liked the concept and accepted the show. I wanted to host a
show and I am glad this offer came to me. I am extremely
excited about it as it is a way for me to connect with my
fans. The show has romance, drama, masti, emotions etc," Sunny
said.
 Splitsvilla revolves around young boys and girls trying to secure a place in a 'Villa'. It is a 'hunt for love' show where they compete in tasks to stay in the competition and
mingle with contestants to find love.
In the end, a boy and a girl are crowned the winners of
Splitsvilla (they are a couple.)

Dating is more westernised today. It is about getting to know other person. It is a nice

TRESemmé Split Remedy Works

I have a dry with split hair problem.
I got suggestion from hair styler to use Tresemme  Split Remedy Shampoo and Conditioner pack.I use it thrice in a week in it really worked.

The shampoo has the perfect consistency and lathers up really well. Only a coin-sized amount is sufficient to cleanse hair effectively. Your hair starts to feel soft and silky even as you are washing off the shampoo. And the smell is an added bonus.

For the conditioner too, only a very small amount is needed. Since I have fine hair, I apply conditioner only to the extreme ends. And it works wonders.

My hair feels so smooth and silky.

It is a great product for people with Split hair as it controls splitting of hair quite brilliantly.

The fragrance of the shampoo is soothing that I like it very much. I must recommend it to those with Split Hair Problem.
