'No Bedroom Scene' Controversy: Trisha Slams Mansoor Ali Khan; NCW Member Khushbu To Take Action

Tamil actor Mansoor Ali Khan is at the centre of a controversy following derogatory comments on his 'Leo' co-star Trisha Krishnan.

What Did He Say?

In an interview, Khan had said that he had signed Vijay's 'Leo' believing that he would get "bed room" scenes with Trisha, but the makers did not even show her on the sets.

"When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, 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 a number of 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," ANI quoted him as saying.

Trisha's Reaction

Trisha has condemned his comments and vowed not to work with him anymore. She said, "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."

Whenever men speak against women, strong legal and police action should take place. Whether it’s @JaiTDP MLA who attacked me. Or Mansoor Ali Khan who again has spoken about @trishtrashers, @khushsundar and Me. Unless strong legal actions take place, these men will never fear…

His comments have been widely condemned by netizens. Bharatiya Janata Party leader and member of the National Commission for Women (NCW) Khushbu Sundar has said that actiuon will be taken against him.

"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," Sundar posted on X. "When we are fighting tooth and nail to protect women and bring dignity to them, such men are like a bot in our society," the BJP leader added in his post.
