In a startling turn of events, actor Mansoor Ali Khan finds himself in legal trouble after making alleged derogatory remarks about his co-star for ‘Leo’, Trisha Krishnan. The controversy has escalated, with the National Commission for Women directing the Tamil Nadu police to register a case against the actor.
As reported by The Hindu, Mansoor has been booked under Sections 354 A (sexual harassment) and 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to outrage modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code. The Thousand Lights All-Women Police took this action following the directive from the National Commission for Women.
The controversy began when Mansoor made a controversial statement about his expectations of a bedroom scene with Trisha in their upcoming film, Leo. Trisha, reacting strongly, vowed never to work with Mansoor again, adding fuel to the fire. Other prominent figures in the Tamil film industry, including Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj, Chiranjeevi, Nithiin, and Chinmayi Sripada, also condemned Mansoor for his derogatory comment.
The issue gained momentum when actor, BJP MP, and NCW member Khushbu Sundar pledged to take action against Mansoor. She expressed her stance on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “I stand with @trishtrashers and my other colleagues where this man speaks in such a sexist disgusting mindset about them, including me.”
Mansoor, however, remains unapologetic. In a press conference held on Tuesday, he defended his statement, arguing, “I didn’t say anything wrong. I respect all actresses.” This stance has further fueled the controversy, with the actor refusing to back down despite the backlash.
The saga has captivated social media, with netizens expressing their opinions on various platforms. Khushbu Sundar’s promise to take action has been widely discussed, as quoted on social media, “As a member of NCW, I have already taken up the issue of Mansoor Ali Khan with my senior and will be taking an action on it.”
The unfolding drama continues to draw attention and raises important conversations about sexism and respect within the film industry. As the legal proceedings unfold, the controversy surrounding Mansoor Ali Khan and Trisha Krishnan remains at the forefront of discussions across social media and news channels.
