Kushboo Conterversy
In 2005, there was a well-publicized politically motivated controversy that distorted her remarks in an interview for AIDS awareness out of context about the need for protective sex. Some political parties like PMK and Dalit Panthers championed the cause for moral policing and tormented Kushbhoo. Kushbhoo continuously made national headlines and initiated national debates on the need to stop moral policing. The nation watched the harassment to the actress until public opinion in the state overwhelmingly turned in favour of the veteran actress. Feeling public opinion and that they will not get any political milage by tarnishing Kusbhoo, the minor political parties, who had attacked her, backed out. The public was vehemently against such moral policing. Tamil Nadu has been one of the most forward states in India about women rights and rationalist thinking. Subsequently the actress became vindicated.
