After winning court battle, Khushboo now eyes politics

Chennai, May 01: Having won a four year court battle over her remarks on pre-marital sex, popular south Indian actress Khushboo has now set her eyes on politics and admits her liking for Congress.

“I am silently involved in lot of social work including in the areas of HIV/AIDS, transgenders and cancer. But being in politics gives a larger platform and to work better,” she told PTI in an interview here.

Relieved after the Supreme Court this week quashed 22 criminal cases filed against her for her comments on pre-marital sex, she said, “politics is next step” but added she had not taken a call on joining a party as of now.

“I like Congress as I grew up with Congress people such as (late actor) Sunil Dutt around me.
