Khushbu Sundar, the well-known actress cum politician, recently revealed that she had been sexually abused by her father starting at the age of eight. This admission highlights the pervasive issue of child abuse.
She said, "I think when a child is abused, it scars the child for life...I had the courage to speak against my father when I was 15. I wasn't even 16 and he left us with whatever we had."
Actresses keep opening up on the issues like casting couch. But this incestious abuse is something more disturbing.
Sundar said that while she had a hard childhood, she eventually got the courage and conference fight back.
The actor, who started her career with the Bollywood film The Burning Train, became a popular face in the South Indian film industry. She later joined politics in 2010.
