Sit With Hitlist | Sunny Leone Grew Up Watching Hindi Movies & Eating Pizza Over

In this special and heartwarming episode of Sit With Hitlist, the ever-charming Sunny Leone delved into cherished childhood memories, revealing a delightful tradition of watching Hindi movies with her family over the weekends. She fondly recalled how they would transform their living room into a cozy camp setup, vacating the sofas, and gathering together to relish the cinematic delights. With movies like the iconic "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge," the electrifying "Khalnayak," or the romantic "Dil," those movie nights became magical experiences etched in her heart forever. For Sunny, the real highlight of these movie marathons was not just the captivating stories but the simple joys of relishing pizza and falling asleep right there in the hall. Amidst the laughter and nostalgia, she opened up about the challenges she faced growing up in Canada, where cultural differences occasionally clashed with her Indian roots. Sunny candidly shared how she approached her parents about wearing skirts like her peers, only to realize that things worked differently in India. Drawing a parallel with Kajol`s character in "DDLJ," she humorously recounted her journey as a part of a typical Punjabi household, embracing both her Canadian upbringing and Indian traditions. #sunnyleone #sitwithhitlist #biggboss #entertainment #interview #mayankshekhar Watch the full interview here: https://youtu.be/7mbZ8aSWyZc...
