Trisha condemns outrageous comments by Mansoor Ali Khan

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…

Lokesh condemns the comment

The director of the film, Lokesh Kanakaraj, also condemned Khan’s comments. He took to X to register his thoughts and condemn the actor’s behaviour.

“Disheartened and enraged to hear the misogynistic comments made by Mr. Mansoor Ali Khan, given that we all worked in the same team. Respect for women, fellow artists and professionals should be a non-negotiable in any industry and I absolutely condemn this behaviour [sic],” the director wrote.

Actress Malavika Mohanan also took exception to Khan’s comments.

“This is disgusting on so many levels. It’s shameful enough that this is how this man views women & thinks about them, but then to have the guts(!!) to speak about it this openly and unapologetically, not even worried about repercussions?? Shame on you. Despicable beyond belief [sic],” she said.

Khan has had other brushes with controversy. He was earlier named as an accused in a rape case, but his name was eventually cleared.

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. Nobody can get away with such a filthy mind. I stand with @trishtrashers and my other colleagues where this man speaks in such a sexist disgusting mindset…
