New Delhi: A unique approach has emerged within the controversy surrounding actor Mansoor Ali Khan and Trisha Krishnan. Mansoor has now been booked by the Tamil Nadu Police for allegedly making disparaging remarks about his ‘Leo’ co-star Trisha.
According to a report by The Hindu, Mansoor was booked by the Tamil Nadu Police for his derogatory feedback in opposition to the actress. The actor was booked below Sections 354 A (sexual harassment) and 509 (phrase, gesture or act meant to outrage modesty of girl) of the Indian Penal Code, said the report.
Earlier, actor, BJP MP and NCW member Khushbu Sundar had vowed to behave in opposition to Mansoor. She wrote on X (previously Twitter), “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 about them, including me. When we are fighting tooth and nail to protect women and bring dignity to them, such men are like a bot in our society.”
During a press convention on Tuesday, Mansoor maintained his place and declined to difficulty an apology for his remarks. He mentioned, “I didn’t mean (it) personally. If there is a rape or murder scene, is that real in cinema? Does it mean raping someone for real? What does murder in cinema mean? Does it mean they are murdering someone for real? Why do I need to apologise? I didn’t say anything wrong. I respect all actresses.”
Earlier, Mansoor made this controversial comment which invited quite a lot of flak, “When I heard that I was acting with Trisha (in Leo), I thought there would be a bedroom scene in the film. I thought that I could carry her to the bedroom just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done so many rape scenes in several movies and it’s not new to me. But these guys didn’t even show Trisha to me on the sets during the Kashmir schedule.”
Trisha swore she would by no means work with Mansoor after listening to this remark. Several different celebrities from the Tamil movie trade, similar to Chiranjeevi, Nithiin, Chinmayi Sripada, Leo director Lokesh Kanagaraj, and others, denounced Mansoor for his offensive comment.
