November has been a tumultuous month for actor Mansoor Ali Khan, who found himself embroiled in a controversy following offensive comments. After issuing an apology to Trisha Krishnan for derogatory remarks, the actor revealed his intentions to pursue a defamation lawsuit against prominent figures including actor-politician Khushbu Sundar, megastar Chiranjeevi, and Trisha herself.
Khan alleged that a viral video circulating widely had been manipulated and doctored to malign his reputation. Accusing Trisha, Chiranjeevi, and Khushbu of defaming him and disrupting public peace, he vowed to present evidence supporting his innocence against the claims made by the trio. These developments were reported by India TV.
The controversy erupted when a video surfaced in which Mansoor Ali Khan discussed his industry struggles and the missed opportunity to co-star with Trisha Krishnan. In the video, his remarks stirred controversy as he expressed expectations of intimate scenes with Trisha, drawing comparisons to his previous roles. Khan stated, “When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, I thought there would be a bedroom scene in the film. I thought I would carry her to the bedroom just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done so many rape scenes, and it’s not new to me. But these guys didn’t even show Trisha to me on the sets during the shoot in Kashmir.”
The comments sparked widespread condemnation from various celebrities, including Chiranjeevi, Chinmayi Sripaada, Khushbu Sundar, and others who rallied in support of Trisha while criticizing Khan for his statements. In response to the backlash and amidst allegations of se*ual harassment raised by the National Women’s Commission, Khan publicly issued an apology to Trisha Krishnan.
The unfolding saga has placed Mansoor Ali Khan in a precarious position, with legal battles looming and his reputation under scrutiny amid the fallout from his controversial remarks.
