Sundar C’s Political Entry Shakes Up Tamil Nadu
Sundar C recently announced that he will contest the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections as a candidate for the Pudiya Neethi Katchi. Here’s what Khushbu says.
Khushbu Defends Husband Against ‘Outsider’ Label
Posting his picture on Instagram, she penned a longer note: “A “learned” politician seems rattled by the entry of Mr. #SundarC into politics and that itself speaks volumes. Sundar C, contesting from Madurai Central as the #Puthiyanidhikatchi candidate under the #2leaves symbol of @aiadmk.official , has clearly struck a chord.”
She also addressed his ‘outsider’ status, writing, “They call him an outsider. But aren’t we all, at some point, strangers to the very places we come to call home? It is not birth, but belonging that defines us. It is not origin, but commitment that matters.” She further wrote, “Sundar C is no outsider. He is a son of Tamil Nadu, someone who has lived, worked, and connected deeply with its people. He breathes Tamil, stands for its culture, and believes in its future.”
Sundar C’s Focus on Serving Madurai
Khushbu ended her note with, “Perhaps the real question is, can politics and politicians rise above narrow labels and divisions? They say Madurai is all about warmth, hospitality, love and acceptance. Let the people of Madurai choose the one who genuinely wishes to serve and be one among them. #SundarC4Madurai.”
When asked about Vijay also debuting in politics via his Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) party, he refused to criticise the star or his party. He remarked that Vijay calls Khushbu his ‘akka’ (elder sister) and she calls him her ‘thambi’ (younger brother). Sundar has One 2 One lined up as an actor and Mookuthi Amman 2 and Purushan as a director.
With Sundar C’s entry into politics stirring debate, the focus shifts to how the people of Madurai will respond. Khushbu emphasizes his commitment to serving the community and hopes the voters will embrace his vision for the city.
