Telugu superstar Chiranjeevi has weighed in on the ongoing controversy stemming from actor Mansoor Ali Khan's comments about Trisha. He took to social media to express his displeasure and condemn Mansoor while expressing solidarity with Trisha.
"My attention was drawn to some reprehensible comments made by actor Mansoor Ali Khan about Trisha. The comments are distasteful and disgusting not just for an Artiste but for any woman or girl. These comments must be condemned in the strongest words. They reek of perversion. I stand with @trishtrashers and every woman who has to be subject to such horrid comments," Chiranjeevi tweeted.
Chiranjeevi is the first superstar of his stature to react to this controversy, which has caused massive outrage across the Indian film industry. "Thank you Chiru Sir," responded Trisha, who has worked with Chiranjeevi in several films in the past.
Mansoor Ali Khan courted a huge controversy when he rued about not getting an opportunity to act with Trisha in a 'rape scene.' He complained that the filmmakers didn't allow him an opportunity to share screen space with her in Leo.
Mansoor had already highlighted this point during the success event of Leo. However, at the time, his comments were brushed under the carpet.
During a recent press meet, he doubled down and made some inappropriate comments that evoked a strong response from people from across the country.
Trisha lashed out at Mansoor and vowed that she would never share screen space with him in her career.
Despite the growing crisis, Mansoor remains unfazed. He has declared that he won't apologise to Trisha for his comments, claiming that he has done no wrong.
"What is this foolishness? I should only ask apology if I have made any mistake, no? I don't belong to a creed of men who seek apology. I have not made any mistake. These are false allegations," Mansoor said reacting to the controversy.
