Sparks
Outcry:
A
controversial
video
capturing
actor
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
repugnant
remarks
about
actress
Trisha
at
a
press
conference
has
set
social
media
ablaze,
drawing
vehement
condemnation
from
the
actress
herself.
Trisha,
known
for
her
role
in
'Leo,'
slammed
her
co-star,
stating,
"A
recent
video
has
come
to
my
notice
where
Mr.Mansoor
Ali
Khan
has
spoken
about
me
in
a
vile
and
disgusting
manner.I
strongly
condemn
this
and
find
it
sexist,disrespectful,misogynistic,repulsive
and
in
bad
taste.He
can
keep
wishing
but
I
am
grateful
never
to
have
shared
screen
space
with
someone
as
pathetic
as
him
and
I
will
make
sure
it
never
happens
for
the
rest
of
my
film
career
as
well.
People
like
him
bring
a
bad
name
to
mankind."

Khan
Responds
Amid
Uproar
Amid
the
escalating
backlash,
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
attempted
to
clarify
his
contentious
comments
through
a
widely
circulated
WhatsApp
message.
Khan
claimed
his
words
were
taken
out
of
context,
asserting
that
his
statements
about
Trisha
were
misconstrued
and
misleadingly
edited
to
ignite
controversy.
He
insisted
that
the
intent
behind
his
words
was
misconceived,
citing
his
past
respect
for
female
co-stars
and
attributing
the
uproar
to
efforts
aimed
at
sabotaging
his
forthcoming
film
and
political
aspirations.
However,
Khan's
explanation,
devoid
of
an
apology
or
remorse,
left
many
disappointed,
triggering
an
ongoing
deluge
of
criticism
and
trolling
across
social
media
platforms.
The
fallout
continued
as
the
director
of
'Leo,'
Lokesh
Kanagaraj,
voiced
his
dismay
and
condemnation
of
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
comments.
Kanagaraj
emphasised
the
necessity
of
unwavering
respect
for
women
and
professional
conduct
within
the
entertainment
industry.
Mansoor
Ali
Khan's
Disrespectful
And
Misogynistic
Comment
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
reportedly
said
during
a
press
conference,
When
I
heard
that
I
was
acting
with
Trisha,I
thought
there
would
be
a
bedroom
scene
in
the
film.
I
thought
that
I
could
carry
her
to
bed
just
like
I
did
with
other
actresses
in
my
earlier
movies.
I
have
done
so
many
rape
scenes
in
a
number
of
movies,
and
it's
not
new
to
me.
But
these
guys
didn't
even
show
Trisha
to
me
on
the
sets
during
the
Kashmir
schedule."
