The well-known actress-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar recently said that her father had started abusing her sexually when she was eight years old. This revelation emphasises how widespread the problem of child abuse is. She stated: "I believe that child abuse leaves permanent scars on the victim. When I was 15 years old, I had the guts to speak out against my father. He left us with whatever we had while I wasn't even 16 years old."

Actresses continue to discuss concerns like the casting couch. But what's more unsettling is this incestuous abuse. Despite having a difficult upbringing, according to Sundar, she finally recovered her courage and capacity for conflict. The actor, whose bollywood film debut was in The Burning Train, rose to prominence in the South indian cinema business. In 2010, she later entered politics.

She claimed that she eventually had to speak up and added that she had kept quiet for years out of concern for the safety of other family members. "One fear that lingered with me was that my mum might not believe me because I have seen her in that setting where there was a 'kuch bhi hojaye mera pati devata hai' mindset," she continued during the We The women event. But when I was 15, I decided that enough was enough, and I began rebelling against him. I wasn't quite 16 when he abandoned us, leaving us to fend for ourselves and not knowing where our next food would come from.
