"Yes, I am Nakhat Khan" I Khushbu Sundar on her abusive father, being muslim & leaving Congress

Barkha Dutt speaks to actor-turned-politician, BJP leader and National Commission for Women (NCW) Member Khushbu Sundar in the 30th episode of our podcast 'Inside Out'.
Khushbu makes a shocking revelation saying she was sexually abused by her father and he also tried to sell her sexually to film producers for an amount of Rs. 25,000 for one night. Khushbu says she was only 16 then.
She also spoke about her political stint with the DMK, Congress and now in the BJP. Khushbu talks about working in films as a child actor, her association with Hema Malini, 46 police cases against her news article, being in love, relationships, her husband and daughters, and also - for the first time- opens up on the biggest regret of her life.

I'm 5th generation Malaysian of Indian ancestry. My mom is catholic from a staunch christian family, dads a hindu from a staunch hindu family. They got married early 80s with resprctive families approval and neither converted. They brought me and my younger sister up with the freedom to choose our religion we felt comfortable with (both of us finally chose to be hindus in our 20s eve though were much closer to mom's side of the family ). We grew up celebrating every hindu and christian religious festivals. My mom despite not a hindu did all the religious preps for hindu festivals like ponggal, deepavali, karthigai deepam etc even when dad was working overseas for a couple of years when we were young. Dad loved buying and decorating christmas trees and buying presents for all the children in moms extended family. Feel very blessed to have progressive parents like mine.

[@ravcaj4861]

Thank God for sensible comments!

[@user-cf5kg6ry4m]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻those days never interfered with other religions. Even my mama(uncle) married a Christian girl and my grandma in those days late 70s never forced my aunt to change anything, though she did change her name from Dorothy to Nandita . But my mother and respective aunts and cousins all of us would call her Dorothy aunty and my grandma never objected. She was the only one calling her by Hindu name but never ever forced my aunt to do any rituals or visit temples and all that

[@user-cf5kg6ry4m]

BTW Khushboo would be knowing my cousins though now her remembrance might be hazy. She used to live in Andheri, Bombay

[@gabrielsolomon7478]

Dear friends It looks sensible, peaceful and reasonable not to hurt or convert. Yes one has to respect the other faiths. But in a family mother and father are from different religious backgrounds that situation is lukewarmness in their respective faith. Faith is something one has to be focussed and sincere. Honoring and compromising are different. One has to stick to their faith if they know it's the Truth without any compromise. One can compromise on any other issues but never when it comes to faith and God. It's the ultimate one and decides the destiny of the Spirit. So, I am sorry for this family. Father is Hindu and mother is a catholic. Children are something. Religion or God must be the priority in anyone's life. We honor but never compromise in selecting the partner. Partner should be of same faith. If you are hurt by my comment please excuse me friends. But it's the truth Truth is absolute not relative.

[@aaiyar2643]

I’ve a confession to make: while I’ve always admired Kushboo’s mental & emotional strength, I’ve always had this niggling thought at the back of my mind about her having been a home breaker (& I’m not being sexist - I’ve always thought Prabhu ought to shoulder a bigger share of the blame as he was the one who was married). But the moment Kushboo openly admitted that she had been wrong, I felt goosebumps. Well done - it takes a lot of courage & character to do that. And a huge hug to Mr Sundar C : what a man👏👏

[@KIDS-BLISS]

Exactly right.. the moment someone truly realizes their mistakes and sincerely regret that amd openly apologizes for that, the WRONG becomes the RIGHT. But thats not what usually is done by the guilty party. They either hide their mistake in shame or defend themselves out of ego. My opinion about Kushboo completely changed too. I feel good.

I and my 2 bros are early 2000s kids, born of a Muslim mom and a Hindu father, personally we were never taught religion in literal sense, both my parents are pretty much athiests until festivals show up. My mom shows the same keen faith or excitement for Hindu festivals like Rath Yatra, Kumara Punei while my father as my father in Aid-ul fitri and Muharaam. Families are also ok for the most part and we mostly avoid the negative people. Regarding religion, we all chose to be Hindu, one of my bros converted to Sri Vaishnava hindu sect. We tend to see that Muslim/Christians are usually keen on spreading their religion, but we all chose to be Hindu to follow both of the religions efficiently. We remain mostly neutral as we get to know the stereotypes held by different religions, Muslims/Christians usually think we worship lot of idols, eat dung, still do casteism etc, while Hindus think the former are petty colonizers who destroy native cultures, marry their sisters and kill voraciously. Both are somewhat true, to an extent anyway.

Hats off to her honesty and the ordeals she has gone through at such an young age and to come out of it.

[@ManoK54]

Married to muslim man I dont think the same reception would be received ..

[@drreshma96]

To go through so much and yet find the courage to come out with it..hats of to her..❤

[@nehaht]

I don’t think I have ever heard Hindus asking their non Hindu partners to convert. I don’t think the conversion concept exists in Hinduism as you are born into the faith. Whether you practice or not, you are still a Hindu. I am a non-practicing Hindu. The religion doesn’t spit me out for not following the customs/beliefs.

[@afroj.a1]

Are you sure ? It is pretty clear that You LACK A LOT Of Knowledge .... I Mean A LOT

[@PS-ej2xn]

​@@afroj.a1Wow! Please teach us what Hinduism is, O' scholar of Quran and Hadiths. 😅

[@justanotherpoet125]

​@afroj.a1 you sound like a very pathetic person blinded by your own faith.

[@spicekitchen2063]

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🔱

[@mansiindic1501]

​@@afroj.a1yes we r sure. There is no process of dharm parivartan. Many xtians in west practise Hindu way of life when going into the process of any conversion. Ghar Wapsi term means revert back to ur ancestral way of life as we know well how most of u got converted under fear of swords and tax.

[@Randomest_Stories]

In a country like India, it is not easy for anyone to speak of such things even today. Just look at the comment section and the judgement.

[@sunilshegdeable]

As a man, I respect her. Kudos 👏

[@lokeshgiri9302]

Did you actually read the comments? I only see supportive comments, have been scrolling down, none bad so far

[@dreamingaboutjungkook3930]

Only you are negative here judgement about India . Not 140 crores people have same mindset and they surely have different opinions on any issue.

[@santhoshk.thampi1200]

This interview just reminds me of Former TN CM Jayalalitha’s interview with simmy garewal. That was a phenomenal interview and this one added a cherry on top it. Both the women are super strong, can easily call as iron ladies of India. Hats off to the courage and command in the language they got. Super proud ❤of

[@ss-ib8gm]

kushboo is smart and brave she came out of gutter and settled well , married very good man and mother to 2 kids .They both see a persons character not the circumstances that define them. she has seen people eith multiple faces and bigoted ones , she kmows how to deal with them

[@preethipaniker]

She spoke Good To point Elegant ❤ Enjoyed the conversation

[@Levelheadcal]

Amazing story. Khushbu is very intelligent , tough lady!!

[@ashitamalkani3845]

So glad she spoke so favourably for BJP being a Muslim. We all know this reputation of BJP being anti Muslim is politically motivated.

[@susandonrie8958]

Barkha seems surprised when barkha was mentioning force conversation😂😂

[@PS-ej2xn]

Isn't Burqha herself a Muslim? She had surely married some Islamic men.

[@abhandari1770]

Excellent discussion

[@sumitguha1667]

Lovely interview with interesting questions and honest answers - and khusboo is always a darling 🥰
