Actress Kushboo who eventually forayed into active politics as a spokesperson for the DMK has come under attack for her alleged statements related to the party leadership. In a recent interview, it is being said that, Kushboo suggested a consensus by vote for the next leader of the DMK.

Earlier this afternoon, on 7^th February, at around 1.30 p.m nearly 50 unidentified individuals lodged an attack on Kushboo’s residence, shattering windows and vandalizing property, including her car. Her children who had just returned from school were terrified with the atmosphere outside and were sheltered in a safe zone inside the house. Sundar C is apparently out of town for a shoot at the moment.

Kushboo has now approached the Commissioner of Police to lodge a complaint against what some party members claim to be vested interests.

Another actor turned politician within the DMK, Chandrashekar, has objected to the statements made by Kushboo in that specific interview and accused her of double speak. He also questioned her commitment when she said that for her, family would come first, next would be politics. He claims that for many cadres like himself the party and the people were the first family. He also reiterated the fact that Stalin would make for the most worthy successor.
