After her debut film, Sunny went on to work in several movies like Jackpot, Ragini MMS 2 and Ek Paheli Leela. She recently shot an item song with superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his upcoming film Raees.

The 35-year-old actor also said she wanted to make the most of the opportunity coming her way with no “fear” of not getting any work in the future. “It’s not a fear, it is a reality. When you’re doing well, it feels this is going to last forever, so many offers come in. Luckily for me, those offers are there and everything is going amazing now.”

“But this is the time that if I don’t take the money I am making and invest it into something bigger than who I am, or could be bigger than what I am now, then I am silly,” she added.
