Actress-politiian Khushbu Sundar has revealed that she underwent Covid-19 test for the third time and tested negative again.
In a tweet, Khushbu, who quit the Congress and joined the BJP recently, said, “I got tested for #Covid for the 3rd time as a precautionary measure as I have been traveling and been in crowds. Have tested negative again. Thanks to your goodwill and blessings.Β .”
Khushbu was in the news recently after she attracted criticism for allegedly using the remark ‘mentally retarded’ to attack her political opponents.
The association for the differently abled in Tamilnadu had filed a complaint against her and refused to accept her apology in this matter.
In her statement, Khushbu said, “Iβm terribly sorry for the incorrect use of a couple of phrases in a moment of hastiness, deep distress and anguish. Being a self-made woman, the insinuation that I was being directed and influenced by significant others in my decisions was both objectionable and misogynistic.
I have struggled with mental health concerns in my own family and have friends who are capable leaders, insightful and dynamic and living with bipolar disorder and depression. For their friendship and wisdom, Iβm richer! Not just am I sensitive to diversity amongst people, but value it and have gained hugely from it.”
