Nithiin condemns Mansoor comments against Trisha. The controversy surrounding Mansoor Ali Khan's misogynistic comments about Chennai Thendral Trisha shows no signs of abating. The video of Mansoor's post-'Leo' success media interaction has rapidly become viral. In this footage, Mansoor, speaking in Tamil, expressed his disappointment at not sharing screen space with Trisha and articulated misguided expectations of an intimate scene. Shockingly, he even disclosed a history of performing explicit scenes in earlier movies, including disturbing instances such as rape scenes.
Amidst the uproar, Tollywood actor Nithiin voiced his support for Trisha, condemning Mansoor Ali Khan's comments. In a social media post, Nithiin stated, "I strongly condemn Mr. Mansoor Ali Khan's vile and vulgar statement against @trishtrashers. Chauvinism has no place in our society. I urge everyone to stand up against such remarks targeting women in our industry."
Trisha herself responded vehemently to Mansoor's statements, denouncing them as sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive, and in bad taste. She expressed gratitude for never having shared screen space with someone as pathetic as him and vowed to ensure it never happens in her future film career. Actress Kushboo, also a member of the NCW, pledged to take action against Mansoor Ali Khan. LEO director Lokesh Kanagaraj added his voice to the condemnation of Mansoor's words.
In an attempt to salvage his image, Mansoor Ali Khan offered an explanation, arguing that his words were taken out of context and that the media selectively used his speech to tarnish his reputation. However, his defense failed to convince anyone, as he seemed more focused on justifying himself than issuing a sincere apology. The public remains skeptical of his version, with many questioning his true intentions and the appropriateness of his past actions.
