In the wake of severe criticism and condemnation for his disparaging comments about actress Trisha, actor Mansoor Ali Khan has sought to clarify his statements. A recently released video depicted Khan responding in a disrespectful manner towards Trisha during an interview, leading to widespread backlash from both the actress and the film industry.
In a video that went viral on social media, Mansoor Ali Khan addressed the controversy through a WhatsApp message. He claimed that his original comments had been taken out of context and edited to create a misleading narrative. According to Khan, his remarks were initially part of a more extended discussion where he spoke positively about Trisha. He explained that his expression of concern about not getting opportunities to work with heroines in older films was intended as a comical remark but was misrepresented in the edited version shown to Trisha.
Furthermore, Khan asserted that he has always held respect for his fellow actresses, and the controversy surrounding his comments is an attempt to tarnish his image ahead of his upcoming film and political endeavors. He revealed his intention to contest the upcoming Loksabha election.
Despite Khan’s attempts to clarify his stance, the lack of an explicit apology or expression of regret disappointed fans, leading to continued trolling on social media. The actor remains embroiled in the aftermath of the controversy as he faces challenges to his reputation and public image.
