Bollywood actor Sunny Leone has said she was a “geek” while growing up and so, boys weren’t really attracted to her until she was 18 years old. “I was a very academic student in college, but until college, I was an average student. But I knew business and I was fond of marketing, and all kind of geeky stuff. I was a nerd in my teenage years and didn’t have a lot of friends.”

“I also knew how to edit videos, do photoshop and lot of other things that a lot of 18- or 19-year olds don’t do... No boy was interested in me until I was 18,” Sunny said in a statement.
