It may be recalled that Khushbu's X account was hacked in April this year. Soon after her account got hacked, the actress took to her Instagram timeline to warn her followers about the imposters who had claimed control of her X account and for help to reclaim her account back. She wrote, "Attention, everyone! My twitter account has been hacked. If anyone knows how to retrieve it, please help me out. It's urgent! #CyberHelp #AccountRecovery #UrgentAssistance@twitter"

The actress also posted a screenshot of her profile page on X that read, "A woman of gut & grits. A woman of today for a better tomorrow. Happy Mother of two angels! BJP MLA Candidate 2021 BJP NEC #BJP4India #Modi4India."

A week later, she also posted fake posts put out by hackers using her handle on X and alerted her followers that she had nothing to do with the claims being made in the posts. She wrote,"Hackers have been using my X account for crypto currency. I have nothing to do with these and i do not support it. Hope @tncybercrimeoff looks into this immediately."

Now, three weeks after the incident, the actress has finally managed to regain control of her X account.

On the professional front, the Kushbhu's most recent production, a comedy heist drama titled 'Gangers', has released and is now running in theatres.

Khushbu's production house Avni Cinemax has presented this film, which features her husband Sundar C and comedian Vadivelu in the lead.

The film, which has been written and directed by Sundar C, has music by Sathya and cinematography by E Krishnasamy. Editing for the film is by Praveen Antony. The film, which has been produced by A.C. Shanmugam, A.C.S. Arunkumar, Kushboo Sundar, hit the screens on April 24 this year.

So happy to see Khushbu ma'am back on X! This hacking issue is becoming too common these days. Even my cousin's account was hacked last month. Twitter needs better security measures for Indian users. 🙏

Three weeks is too long to recover an account! Shows how helpless we are against cyber crimes. Government should make stricter laws for social media platforms operating in India. Also, best wishes for 'Gangers' - big fan of Vadivelu sir's comedy!

The crypto scam part is worrying. Many innocent people might have fallen for it thinking it's Khushbu ma'am endorsing. Celebs should get blue ticks mandatory for verification. Stay safe online everyone!

As someone working in IT security, I must say - please enable 2FA on all your social media accounts! Simple step that could prevent 90% of such hacks. Glad she's back though, always enjoy her bold political takes.

While I'm happy she got her account back, I wish celebrities would show same urgency when common people face cyber crimes. My complaint about online fraud is still pending with cyber cell for 2 months now. System needs to work for everyone.

Khushbu ji is such a multi-talented personality - actress, producer, politician! Saw 'Gangers' last weekend, full paisa vasool entertainment. Vadivelu's comedy scenes had entire theater laughing! Wishing her more success 🎬
