Sunny opines

 I was very hesitant and scared. I was scared of the idea of leaving it all and coming to India. When I came in entertainment, I got hate mails from Indian communities in the US. I didn't want to go through all that again, but ironically what happened now is that the Indian community in the US told me they are happy for me.

 On her current relationship with Family

Sunny spoke about her family during one of her interviews:

 My family in India has decided they don't want to see me. I tried meeting them once when I was close to Punjab but they wanted nothing to do with me. It was a 'closure moment'. My family in the US would meet me because I was my father's daughter. But I don't have a relationship with anyone. So, it's just my brother, my husband Daniel (Weber) and his parents and his family. They are closer to me than my own flesh and blood.
