The feud between Trisha Krishnan and Mansoor Ali Khan seems unending and made headlines again recently. The latter folded under pressure and released a statement apologising to the actress for misogynistic comments he made about her a few days ago. Trisha took to X to respond, seemingly forgiving him for his transgression.
Without addressing Mansoor or the statement he released earlier in the day, Trisha wrote on X, “To err is human, to forgive is divine.” While she may want to put the whole ordeal behind her with the statement, fans appear to be in no mood to forgive. One fan wrote in the comment section, “He apologised only after so many people condemned his words and case registered. His apology is out of fear over going to jail. I bet. He will do this again after some time.” Another wrote, “Stay strong trish we are all always with you.”
While promoting their film ‘Leo,’ Mansoor made a few objectionable comments to the press about wanting to film exploitative scenes with Trisha. Actors from the movie industry and the movie team condemned his statement. At the get-go, Mansoor remained steadfast and refused to apologise to the actress. He even held a press meeting where he said, “A rape scene onscreen does not translate to abuse in real life. I have done nothing wrong and I refuse to apologise.”
However, after the National Commission for Women took suo moto cognizance on the matter, and the Chennai police counselled him, he released a statement on Friday that read, “My co-actress Trisha, Please forgive me! May God bless me with the fortune of blessing your Mangalyam (mangalsutra) as it goes around on a coconut during the ritual! Amen. ---Mansoor Ali Khan.”
