Khushboo set to join DMK party

Popular south Indian actor Khushboo is all set to join the ruling DMK. She will soon be calling on DMK chief, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Karunanidhi to enroll herself as a primary member of the party, sources close to her said. The actor has already held two rounds of discussions with DMK leaders and would have another round in a couple of days, they told media.

Khushboo had indicated her desire to take the plunge into politics soon after the Supreme Court recently quashed a slew of cases filed against her for her controversial remarks on pre-marital sex made in an interview in 2005.

“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 said. She also said she would prefer Congress, a national party, to other parties.

Khushboo’s entry into DMK is likely to be a shot in the arm for the party ahead of the next year assembly polls as she has a large fan following in the state. Her fans had even built a temple for the actor in Permabalur District at the height of her career a few years ago.

Published reports also claim that Khushboo would be made a member of the state legislative council.
