Defying backlash, Mansoor Ali Khan stands firm on 'sexist' remark

Actor Mansoor Ali Khan is currently facing legal consequences under sections 509 and 354(A) for his alleged sexist comments against co-star Trisha Krishnan. Despite the backlash and demand for an apology, Mansoor remains steadfast in his refusal to express regret regarding his controversial statements, particularly those involving a 'bedroom scene.'

Amidst criticism and social media trolling for perceived misogynistic remarks directed at Trisha Krishnan during the filming of 'Leo,' Mansoor Ali Khan defended himself in a press conference, stating that he did not intend his comments personally. He questioned the realism of certain scenes in cinema, asserting, "If there is a rape or murder scene, is that real in cinema? Why do I need to apologize? I didn’t say anything wrong. I respect all actresses."

A video circulating on social media captured Mansoor discussing a potential rape scene in 'Leo' with Trisha, drawing parallels to his past films with stars like Khushboo and Roja. His casual remarks about anticipating a bedroom scene with Trisha added fuel to the controversy.

Trisha Krishnan responded with a powerful statement condemning Mansoor's words as sexist, disrespectful, and repulsive. The South Indian Artistes Association (SIAA), also known as Nadigar Sangam, joined the chorus of criticism, demanding a public apology from Mansoor.

In a counter-response, Mansoor Ali Khan called the Association's actions wrong and insisted on a retraction of their statement within four hours. He threatened to file a defamation suit if his demands were not met, emphasizing the need for a formal explanation.

The ongoing controversy underscores the delicate balance between creative expression and appropriateness in the film industry, prompting discussions about accountability and respect within the entertainment fraternity. The outcome of this situation remains uncertain as both sides stand firm on their positions. For further updates, stay tuned to ETimes.
