Amidst controversy, actor Mansoor Ali Khan faces backlash for making derogatory remarks about fellow actor Trisha during a press conference. Despite widespread condemnation from celebrities and the media, Khan stood firm, refusing to retract his statements and instead held a press conference in Chennai.
In his defense, Khan criticized Nadigar Sangam for hastily imposing a temporary ban on him without any explanation or inquiry. He adamantly refused to apologize, issuing a four-hour ultimatum for the withdrawal of the Sangam’s statement.
During the press meet, Khan defended his comments, alleging that the media had misrepresented his words by pairing them with images resembling those of a bride and groom featuring him and Trisha. He insisted that his remarks were taken out of context.
This controversy has caused a rift in the industry, with director Lokesh Kanagaraj expressing disappointment and distancing himself from Khan’s comments. Khan, unwavering, declared that he would only consider roles in Kanagaraj’s movies if he was cast as the lead hero.
