CHENNAI: Actress Trisha Krishnan responded to actor Mansoor Ali Khan's remarks against her in connection with Leo movie. The actress took to her X account, condemning his remarks as sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive and in bad taste.

This is the statement of a very bad character. Mansoor 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.

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…

Mansoor Ali Khan's derogatory remark was in an interview given as part of Leo. When he heard that he was acting in Leo with Trisha, he thought there would be a bedroom scene. The actor said that he had done rape scenes in old films. In the interview the actor expressed a wish for a rape scene with Trisha when he was cast in the film. The actor said he thought he could take Trisha to the bedroom like he had taken other actors. However, the actor said they did not show Trisha on the shooting sets in Kashmir. Trisha responded sharing the video of him. Lokesh Kanakaraj, the director of Leo also came forward against Mansoor Ali Khan's controversial remarks.

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
