Sir — Actress-turned-politician Khushboo Sundar has announced her exit from the DMK, a party with which she had been associated since 2011. This is rank opportunism. It has become fashionable for film personalities to join a party and obtain instant political fame.
It works in some cases, such as Hema Malini’s, but not all. I do not think Ms Malini has been very helpful to the party, but she is winning elections, and that matters in politics.
