Hyderabad: Mansoor Ali Khan's recent derogatory remarks aimed at Trisha stirred widespread condemnation and outrage across the entertainment industry. The incident didn't go unnoticed, drawing strong criticism from various quarters. Megastar Chiranjeevi joined the chorus of disapproval, publicly censuring Mansoor's comments not only for their inappropriateness towards an artist but also for their disrespect towards women in general.
The controversy erupted when Mansoor Ali Khan, during a press conference, made distasteful comments about missing an opportunity to shoot a 'bedroom scene' with Trisha. This triggered an avalanche of backlash and support for Trisha from industry peers like Lokesh Kanagaraj and Karthik Subbaraj, who stood firmly by her side.

Adding to the uproar, the South Indian Artistes' Association (SIAA) (Nadigar Sangam) took a decisive stand, imposing a temporary ban on Mansoor Ali Khan. The association demanded an apology from him and urged introspection regarding his mistake before considering any reinstatement. Meanwhile, Mansoor is yet to render an apology. He, however, issued a clarification and said his comments made in jest were taken out of context through selective editing. Meanwhile, taking suo motu in the matter, NCW directed the police chief and urged legal action under IPC Section 509 B.
