Chennai, March 30: There’s more a sense of relief than triumph at Bollywoood child-star turned Tamil superstar Khushboo’s residence in Chennai. Her much misconstrued comments on pre-marital sex in 2005 provoked 22 criminal cases against her, but were finally defended by a special bench of the Supreme Court last week, which ruled that there was nothing illegal about live-in relationships and premarital sex
“I now know I can speak my mind freely, that freedom of speech does exist in our country and we’ve a completely dependable judiciary. The reason why I fought against all odds were my daughters. I had to tell them that their mother is strong and they should be proud of her,” she said from Chennai on Sunday.
And now Khushboo is all set to return to Hindi films. Says Khushboo, “I can’t remember the last Hindi film I did … Oh yes, it was Deeewana Mujhsa Nahin with Aamir Khan and Madhuri Dixit.”
Khushboo says very few of her colleagues from Mumbai have kept in touch with her. “Except Govinda, Madhoo and Rajeev Kapoor. Govinda and me are bum-chums. I say to his wife Sunita, ‘I’ve let you have him for 26 years. I can still run away with him.’ We’re just a phone call away from each other.”
