Mansoor Ali Khan declines to apologise for remarks on Trisha, cites support from Tamil community

Actor Mansoor Ali Khan, who is facing massive backlash for his misogynistic remarks against Trisha Krishnan, has refused to apologise.

Mansoor called for a press conference in Chennai on November 21 after Nadigar Sangam banned him temporarily. The film body has said that they would withdraw the ban when the actor apologises for his mistake.

He said, ‘Nadigar Sangam made a mistake (by imposing a temporary ban till he apologises). When an issue like this happened, they didn’t even ask me for an explanation. They should have called me or issued a notice asking for explanation. There should be an inquiry. But that didn’t happen.’

‘I will give four hours' time to Nadigar Sangam to withdraw their statement against me. They said I should apologise. Do I look like someone who will apologise? Media can write whatever they want against me. People know who I am. I have the support of Tamil people,’ he added.

Mansoor Ali Khan further added, ‘Media published the statement of Trisha with pictures of both of us side by side, which look like pictures of bride and groom. Couldn’t you all have used a better photo of mine? In some pics, I look nice though.’

Defending his comment yet again, he explained, ‘What does a rape scene in cinema mean? Does it mean raping someone for real? What does murder in cinema mean? Does it mean they are murdering someone for real? Shouldn’t you have some sense? I haven't said anything wrong. I will not apologise.’

'Leo' actor, director Lokesh Kanagaraj, Chiranjeevi, and several others have slammed Mansoor Ali Khan.

ALL ABOUT TRISHA-MANSOOR ALI KHAN ISSUE

At a recent press conference, Mansoor Ali Khan passed crass comments against Trisha. This drew criticism from the film industry and fans of the actress.

Trisha reacted to Mansoor Ali Khan's speech and wrote, ‘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 space with someone as pathetic as him and I will make sure it never happens for the rest of my film career as well. People like him bring a bad name to mankind (sic)’.

Trisha was last seen in Thalapathy Vijay's 'Leo', which raked in over Rs 600 crore worldwide.
