Khushbu calls out Mansoor Ali Khan's 'apology'

The actress pointed out that one cannot make such a comment in a lighter vein. She wrote, "Some men think it's their birth right to insult a woman or speak about her in a most disrespectful manner. Recent video of #MansoorAliKhan is one such example. I vehemently condemn his speech. They think their "chumma comedykku sonnen" attitude will be overlooked n ignored. No, it won't be done so."

She also asked him to apologise to every woman's name he has mentioned in the statement. It is to be noted that Mansoor had also mentioned Khushbu's name and he got to do a rape scene with her in his earlier movies. "He should apologise to every female actor he has named in his speech and to women in general for displaying his dirty, misogynist, lowly minsdset. Women of today are strong enough to fight for their respect & dignity."

Never been condemned, with other men in power, money and influence laughing along; eeyy aamaa da macha correct ra maccha sorta thing. Robo Shankar said something on how he wants allowed to touch the actress; the actress had no idea what was being said but if I remember until a journalist called him out, everyone else was smiling even if they felt comfortable enough to share displeasure."
