Kushboo,
the
tamil
film
industry
glamour
doll
of
yesteryear,
is
in
trouble
again,
this
time
for
'insulting'
Hindu
sentiments
and
the
religion.
She
is
facing
yet
another
case
in
a
Tamil
Nadu
court
for
having
sat
cross-legged
with
chapels
close
to
the
idols
of
the
three
goddesses
(Mupperum
Deviyar),
Lakshmi,
Parvathi
and
Saraswathi,
placed
on
a
pedestal
during
a
movie
launch
in
Chennai
a
week
ago.
Gurumoorthy,
one
of
the
Hindu
Munnani
activists
has
filed
a
petition
in
the
Kumbakonam
magistrate
court
down
south
seeking
action
against
her
for
hurting
the
religious
sentiments
of
the
Hindus.
Gurumoorthy,
the
general
secretary
of
the
Kumbakonam
unit
of
Hindu
Munnani,
in
his
petition,
said
that
Kushboo,
who
participated
in
the
muhurat
of
a
film
Vallamai
Tharayo...
on
November
22,
was
seen
sitting
on
a
chair
cross-legged
with
her
chapels
beside
the
idols.
The
photograph
was
published
in
a
Tamil
Weekly
and
private
channels
telecasted
the
movie
muhurat
recently.
Many
other
VIPs
including
writer
Sivasankari,
and
IPS
officer
Thilakavathy,
took
part
in
the
pooja.
Kushboo
had
deeply
hurt
the
sentiments
of
the
Hindus.
Gurumoorthy
further
said
that
Kushboo,
who
had
raked
up
a
controversy
by
her
remarks
on
chastity,
had
now
shown
disrespect
to
Hindu
goddesses.
He
wanted
the
court
to
take
action
against
her
under
sections
295
and
295(A)
of
the
IPC
for
hurting
religious
sentiments.
Receiving
this
complaint,
Judge
Babulal
posted
the
case
to
December
3
to
decide
on
its
admissibility.
Reacting
to
the
incident,
Hindu
Munnani
leader
Rama
Gopalan
said,
"Kushboo's
act
is
unbecoming
of
a
public
figure." He
demanded
a
public
apology
from
her
for
her
'uncultured
behavior'.
"It
clearly
shows
that
the
tolerance
of
the
Hindus
is
being
taken
for
granted.
This
act
also
shows
her
arrogance
and
her
perception
that
the
women's
organisations
would
rush
to
her
rescue
whatever
she
did."
Kushboo
is
already
facing
nearly
nine
cases
in
various
courts
in
the
state
in
connection
with
her
reported
remarks
on
premarital
sex.
