Kushboo
was the craze for
whom the audience
even built a temple.
She now stands jettisoned
from the high pedestal.
Her folly? Her reported
comments about pre-marital
sex in the context
of ordinary
Tamilian
girls. Raising a hue
and cry
over the trivialization
of the high moral standards
of women, several Tamilian
welfare organizations
and two leading political
parties, PMK and DP,
have filed several cases
against her. At last
count, there were about
25 cases in various
courts. Kushboo
will be paying for her
indiscretion by having
to spend a lot of time
shuttling between courts.
