Khushbu Sundar

Khushbu Sundar, born smack in the middle of Bombay—yeah, back when it was still called Bombay, not Mumbai—in September 1970. She’s one of those names you just can’t ignore if you even remotely care about Tamil cinema. She didn’t just pop up outta nowhere; she’s been around since the early ’80s, kicking things off with “Kaalia” in 1981. Pretty wild to think she started so young, right? If you grew up with Indian movies in the ’90s, there’s no way you missed her in “Chinna Thambi.” That film’s got this legendary status—sweet romance, killer soundtrack, just pure nostalgia. But Khushbu’s not one to stick to just acting. Nope, she decided to jump into producing too, which, honestly, not every actor manages to pull off successfully. She kept things rolling with stuff like “Irattai Roja” in 1996. What’s cool about her is, she’s not afraid to reinvent herself. You’ll spot her on TV, in public debates, sometimes even stirring up a bit of controversy (like, who doesn’t love a bit of drama?). And don’t even get me started on her fan following—people literally built temples for her in Tamil Nadu. That’s not a joke. She’s been married to Sundar C., a big-time director, since March 2000, and they’ve got two kids. So, yeah, she juggles family life with this relentless career. Khushbu’s just got that energy—she never really fades from the limelight. She’s one of those stars who keeps going, always up to something, never settling down for long.
