Khushbu Sundar on ‘Annaatthe’: Rajinikanth sir still remains like a kid on his first day to school
The Hindu
The actor-politican on reuniting with the Superstar in their Deepavali release, her completing 40 years in films, and why dance will always be an integral part of cinema
I ask Khushbu if she would have traded off the temple her fans built for her with better roles in films. She laughs at the question, but answers almost instantly. “No,” she says, “I would have definitely preferred the temple. If not for the temple, you wouldn’t be sitting here and asking me questions.”
One might have to agree with her. Khushbu the star, is bigger than Khushbu the actress. She was the go-to heroine of the ‘90s. During that decade, she sometimes acted in over 10 films in a single year. That was probably enough to become a household name, an adjective for idli, and of course, the temple. Understandably, she values adoration more than awards.
