Khushboo
Khushboo Sundar, born Khushboo Khan, has been one of the biggest female superstars to grace the Kollywood screen to date. At her peak, this Punjabi sizzler commanded a mammoth fan following that put most of her male contemporaries to shame.
Khushboo radiated such charm and energy on screen that her fans even built her a temple in Thiruchirappalli!
No other actress has warmed up to her adopted terrain the way Khushboo has. She is married to Tamil actor-director Sundar C, speaks chaste Tamil and has even sung for a Tamil movie! Khushboo has not really faded away, post-marriage. She is very much in the limelight as a TV host, film producer, activist and as a politician.
Here are some rare and hot pictures of the former K'wood Queen!
Khushboo started her career in the 1980s as a child artiste. Though she debuted with 'Thodisi Bewafaii' in 1980, she had her first credited role in 'Laawaris' (1981).
Khushboo was introduced to South Indian films by "Crazy star" Ravichandran in Kannada.
Khushboo has acted in more than 100 movies and she has been paired up with most of the superstars in Tamil and Malayalam, including Kamal Haasan, Rajnikanth, Mammootty, Mohanlal, Sathyaraj, Suresh Gopi and Prabhu.
Post her marriage to Sundar C, Khushboo has kept herself busy with many TV shows. She was on the jury of 'Maanaada Mayilaada', a reality show based on dance.
One of Khushboo's earliest Tamil films was Kamal Haasan-Prabhu starrer 'Vetri Vizha'. Khushboo later starred in Kamal's 'Singaravelan' and 'Michael Madana Kama Rajan'.
Khushboo made her debut in Tamil with Rajnikanth starrer 'Tharmathi Thalaivan' (1988). She went on to act with Rajnikanth in films such as 'Annamalai' and 'Nattukoru Nallavan'. Recently, she made an appearance in 'Kuselan'
'Chinna Thambi', directed by P Vasu, was one of the biggest blockbusters Kollywood has seen. Khushboo starred opposite Prabhu in this film. The film made her a superstar overnight.
During her peak years in Kollywood, Khushboo was rumoured to have been married to Prabhu. Prabhu, who was a married man then, denied the reports.
In 2005, Khushboo landed in a controversy when she said that it was fine for girls to have pre-marital sex, if they take enough precautions. Later, she added that no educated man should expect his wife or girlfriend to be a virgin. Two political parties lashed out at her because of her remarks, and provoked 22 criminal cases against her.
Many products have been named after her, including a special type of idli, 'Khushboo Idli'.
