Senior star actress Khushu Sundar who is widely popular for her work in Tamil and Telugu films is known for her straightforward attitude in real life too. She never hesitates to give her opinion on various issues and is actively involved in Tamil Nadu politics as well. In a recent interview with famous journalist Barkha Dutt, the ‘Stalin’ actress talked about the horrific experiences she had as a child and how she was sexually abused by her father.
She revealed, “When a child is abused, it leaves a scar for life and it is not about a girl or a boy. My mother went through the most abusive marriage. My father was a man who thought it was his right to beat up his wife, beat up his kids, and sexually abuse his only daughter. The sexual abuse started when I was just 8 years old. I had the courage to speak against him when I was 15.”
The actress added, “I feared that my mother may not believe me, because I have seen her in an environment where the husband is considered equal to God, no matter what. But, at the age of 15, I thought that it was enough. I began revolting against him. I was not even 16 and my father left us with whatever we had. We didn’t even know where the next meal will come from.”
Khushu is last seen in a Telugu film titled ‘Aadavallu Meeku Joharlu’ which came out in 2022. She did a cameo in Vijay’s ‘Varisu’ and acted alongside Rajnikanth in his last movie ‘Annathe’. She will soon be seen in Gopichand’s ‘Rama Banam’ which will come out in May. She is also seen as the judge for the popular comedy show ‘Jabardasth’.
