Chennai - Taking a plunge into politics, popular south Indian actress
Khushboo on Thursday joined the ruling DMK in Tamil Nadu weeks after
she won a four-year long legal battle over her controversial remarks
on pre-marital sex.
Marking her entry into the party, Khushboo enrolled herself as a
primary member in the presence of Chief Minister and DMK patriarch M
Karunanidhi at party headquarters here.
Earlier she had hinted of joining Congress as she said that was her
preferred party, however, the 39-year old actress in a surprise move
said has decided to join the DMK.
"I never confirmed that I am going to join Congress. I said that I
was still thinking of which party to join and I think I have made the
right decision," Khushboo told reporters here today.
About her position in the party the actress said, "I think it depends
on my ruling party president. I will leave it to him as to what
position he wants to give me, what role he wants me to play."
When asked what could she bring to the table for DMK Khushboo said,
"I think I am going to work... I have already said as soon as I had
won the Supreme Court verdict that I want to work for the betterment
of women. That is going to be my main criteria. I have to work on
that," she said.
Prior to meeting Karunanidhi, Khushboo said she mulled for about two
years to join politics.
The Supreme Court had last month cleared Khushboo of 22 cases filed
against her for her remarks on pre-martial sex in an interview to a
magazine in 2005.
Khushboo is regarded as of one the finest actresses in south Indian
film industry, who has worked in more than 100 film and shared screen
space with superstars like Rajnikanth Kamal Hassan, Mammootty,
Mohanlal, Sathyaraj and Prabhu.
