Khushboo quits DMK after being sidelined; calls it a hard decision

One of DMK's prominent faces and actor-politican Khushboo quit the party on Monday and announced the decision on Twitter as a hard one.

"Despite my dedication and hard work it has been a one-way journey. This situation has led to severe stress" she wrote in a letter to DMK chief M Karunanidhi.

She began her film career as a child artist and joined the DMK in 2010. She has not run for the state legislature or parliament, but has served as a campaigner for the DMK.

"At times hard decisions have to be taken at the right time with a smile..I hve done just tat..no point in pondering over something tat hurts" she tweeted today. 

 Khushboo was confronted with a huge controversy when she got involved in a defamation case over her remarks supporting pre-marital sex.

She had also incurred the wrath of Stalin loyalists after a Tamil magazine Vigatan published her interview in which she told the weekly that Karunanidhi's successor is still to be decided.

Below are some of the tweets:
