For actress Sunny Leone and her husband, composer Daniel Weber, festivals have acquired a different meaning after they became parents to Nisha, Asher and Noah. The kids came into their life a few years ago and things have only been great since then. Recalling the first time they celebrated Ganeshotsav, Sunny told Bombay Times, “We’re usually very excited around festivals. Like the first time we celebrated this festival (Ganeshotsav) was actually with our children after they came into our life. Prior to that, we did little things, but it all became more special after Nisha put a teeka on her father’s forehead during the festival. With the kids, every festival is a different experience. Festivals help us teach them about tradition, and help the kids learn and understand important things about our culture.”
Talking about the first time she visited a Ganesha temple in the city, Sunny says, “It was during the promotions of one of my earliest films if I am not wrong. I had visited the Siddhivinayak temple to seek blessings. It was so beautiful and special.”
From then on, Sunny and Daniel have gradually made Mumbai their home. Daniel says, “Honestly, we both wouldn’t picture ourselves living anywhere else. We belong here, the city has embraced us and we have embraced it with all our heart. We belong here and we’re here to stay. This is our home.”
