Actor-turned-politician Khushbu Sundar escaped unhurt after she met with an accident in Tamil Nadu on November 18. Khushbu Sundar joined the BJP in October 2020. She tweeted about the accident, sharing two photos of her badly damaged car. The accident took place in the town of Melmarvathur in Kancheepuram district, about 97 km from Chennai. Khushbu Sundar was on her way to Cuddalore district to participate in a "Vetri Vel Yatra" (Victorious Spear March) which has become a flashpoint between the BJP and state's ruling AIADMK, its ally. In another tweet, Sundar, 50, reiterated that it was the container that hit her car & not the other way, adding that the police are questioning the driver of the container to "rule out any foul play". Later, Sundar proceeded to Cuddalore to participate in the event. Khushbu Sundar, 50, changed camp from the Congress and joined the BJP just months before the Tamil Nadu polls. In her resignation letter to Congress president Sonia Gandhi, she wrote that she felt "pushed and suppressed" by people who had no connect with ground reality.
