Misogynistic remarks against Trisha; National Commission for Women voluntarily files case against Mansoor Ali Khan

NEW DELHI: The National Commission for Women has filed a case against actor Mansoor Ali Khan for making derogatory remarks about actress Trisha Krishnan in connection with the movie "Leo." Khushbu Sundar, member of the National Commission for Women previously stated that action would be taken against the actor.

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…

Mansoor Ali Khan's offensive comments were made during an interview. When he heard that he was acting in Leo with Trisha, he thought there would be a bedroom scene. He did rape scenes in old movies. Trisha was thought to be taken to the bedroom like other actresses were taken to the bedroom. But the actor said that they did not show Trisha on the shooting sets in Kashmir.

Trisha reacted strongly to the issue by sharing Mansoor Ali Khan's video and condemned his remarks as disgusting. She expressed her disapproval on social media.

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…

Lokesh Kanakaraj, director of ‘Leo’ also denounced Mansoor Ali Khan's controversial comments.

Disheartened and enraged to hear the misogynistic comments made by Mr.Mansoor Ali Khan, given that we all worked in the same team. Respect for women, fellow artists and professionals should be a non-negotiable in any industry and I absolutely condemn this behaviour. https://t.co/PBlMzsoDZ3
