In a post on X, Trisha shared a quote from Alexander Pope's poem An Essay on Criticism, "To err is human, to forgive is divine," along with a folded hands emoji. This came after Mansoor Ali Khan's apology, which many found insincere and condescending. Reports stated that he delivered a cryptic apology during a Tamil press conference and also made a statement to the police.

Mansoor Ali Khan had previously sparked outrage with his remarks about Trisha during a press interaction. His disrespectful comments implied expectations of intimate scenes with Trisha, citing past experiences with other actresses. Trisha strongly condemned his remarks as sexist, disrespectful, and repulsive, expressing her offense publicly on X.

The situation escalated as the National Commission for Women intervened, directing legal action against Mansoor under Sections 354 A (sexual harassment) and 509 (outraging modesty of a woman) of the Indian Penal Code, leading to his arrest.
