opposite leading Tamil actors like Rajinikanth, Kamal Haasan, Sathyaraj
and Prabhu. She is known for her TV show Jackpot and her serials Kalki,
Janani and Kungumam. She is also a judge in the Maanada Mayilaada.
Apart
from Tamil movies, she also acted in various movies in Kannada, Telugu,
and Malayalam. Kushboo was introduced to South Indian by the Kannada
actor-director Ravichandran. She has acted in many movies with him
notably Ranadheera (1987), Anjada Gandu, Kaliyuga Pandavulu, Shanthi
Kranthi and Yugapurusha. Khushboo has widely been recognized as a bold
on screen protagonist.
Kushboo's popularity is such that her fans
built a temple dedicated to her at Tiruchirapalli. A special type of
idli (a popular food in south Indian cuisine) called "Kushboo Idli" is
named after her.
Khushboo's name, perhaps is the first to be used
as brand on sarees in the south as "KHUSBOO SAREE".
She is
married to director-cum-actor Sundar C. They have two daughters named
Avanthika and Ananditha, after whom they have named their production
house. She has been living in Chennai for the past twenty years. She

debut in the movie industry, playing the lead role in the movie "Netru
pol inru illai".
During her peak years in the Tamil movie
industry, she claimed she was secretly married to actor Prabhu Ganesan,
son of the legendary late Tamil actor Sivaji Ganeshan. She had been
paired with Prabhu in many movies such as Chinna Thambi, Dharmathin
Thalaivan, Velli Vizha, Paandithurai, Kizhakku Karai, My Dear
Marthandan, etc. but this news was never confirmed by Prabhu, who was
already married. Prabhu never divorced his wife and the news soon died
out. The duo with the enviable chemistry only acted in Chinna Vathiyar,
and most recently, in Vegam after the well-publicised controversy.
In
2005, there was a well-publicized controversy about her remarks in an
interview for AIDS awareness, about the need for protective sex: she
said it was fine for girls to have pre-marital sex - but not without
taking precautions to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted
diseases. Later, she added that no educated man should expect his wife
or girlfriend to be a virgin.Two political parties lashed out at her
because of her remarks: the Dalit Panthers of India and the Pattali
Makkal Katchi[3]. She was ordered to court and her counsel offered to
withdraw the previously issued anticipatory bail petition. The judge
acceded and dismissed the petition as withdrawn
