India’s craze for porn-star-turned-Bollywood-actress Sunny Leone is simply undying.

In 2015, the Hindi film actor of Indo-Canadian and American origin was the most searched personality on Google in India – for a fourth consecutive year, according to trends released by the internet search giant. During the year, Leone acted in two Hindi movies – Ek Paheli Leela(rated 3.7/10 on IMDb) and Kuch Kuch Locha Hai (rated 2.8/10 on IMDb).

Enjoying all the attention she has received, Leone tweeted:

While Leone retained her lead, Prime Minister Narendra Modi – coming off the 2014 elections in which he ran aggressive digital campaigns – slipped from the second place to 10th.

Modi last year emerged as the first politician ever to gain more search popularity than entertainment celebrities in India. This year, former Indian president APJ Abdul Kalam, who died in July, was the third most-searched personality in India. Modi and Kalam aside, the top 10 searched people in India this year were related to the Hindi film industry.
