‘Aranmanai’ star Sundar C opens up on how his wife, actress-politician Khushbu struggled with infertility
Sundar C has opened up on how his wife, actress-politician Khushbu struggled with infertility, and how he didn’t let that come between their relationship. In an interview with Cinema Vikatan, the director shared an old photo of him and his wife holding their baby daughter Avantika.
The director admitted that it was an emotional moment for them as they had undergone some emotional turmoil before her birth. He revealed that his wife was unwell and was suffering through some mental anguish as doctors had told her that she may never conceive.
“ It was taken right after the delivery. She (Khushbu) just became conscious. I haven’t told anybody, but I am sharing this now. You can see in her eyes that she is emotional because, before marriage, Khushbu was unwell for a while. A doctor had told her that she couldn’t bear a child. She cried and asked me to marry someone else. But I knew I was going to marry her and I was prepared that there would be no child in my life. But God had a different idea. Now, we have not just one but two angels..”
When quizzed on how his wife felt about sharing such a personal photo with the public, the ‘Kalakalappu’ director said his wife has always been a vocal person and had never shied away from being open about her struggles. “For her, everything is media. She will tell everything to people and has always been like that. I am a private person, she is hyperactive, my polar opposite. I gave up after a point. Now, my whole life is like an open book,” he said.
