New Delhi: While the entire nation is waiting with bated breath to know who will win the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, actor Sunny Leone wants to know by how many votes she is leading in the general elections! All excited and charged up for the counting of votes which is currently underway, a journalist, while announcing the leads on air, accidentally referred to Sunny Deol as Sunny Leone. His goof up went viral on social media and in no time, Sunny Leone started trending on Twitter. Amused by her name in the ongoing elections, Leone took to her Twitter handle to ask, "Leading by How many votes???", with a wink and tongue face emoji.

The actor's tweet has since received 4.3K likes and over 12K retweets. Netizens hailed the diva for having a sense of humour about the whole incident. Meanwhile, this is the first time that actor Sunny Deol contested elections. He joined the BJP party on April 23, this year. Deol is contesting from Gurdaspur Lok Sabha constituency and early numbers indicated that he has a strong lead over Congress' Sunil Jakhar, sitting MP. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, BJP had won this seat after fielding actor Vinod Khanna. Khanna passed away in April 2017. Later on, the seat went to Congress' Sunil Kumar Jakhar after By-election. The party has fielded Jakhar again from this seat.
