Khushbu Sundar started her acting career as a child artiste at the age of seven. In the four decades that have passed, she has made some courageous choices, not only on the professional front, but also in her personal life.

At the age of 16, Khushbu walked out of her father's house with her mother and brothers and never looked back. Speaking on Day 2 of the India Today Conclave South 2018, the actress opened up about standing up to her abusive father.

"I rebelled very early when I decided to speak against my father and take my mother and brothers out of the family. Because I did not like the way he said that a woman's position is somewhere. He was an abusive husband," Khusbu said.

She added, "I still remember the date. It was September 12, 1986. My father told me that one day, you will be crawling on all fours and come begging to us. I told him that I will kill my brothers and mother and jump in front of a running train, but I will never come back to you."

Over three decades have passed, but Khushbu has not seen her father. "I don't want to see my father again," she emphasised.
