In a turn of events, the Trisha-Mansoor Ali Khan saga concludes after a tumultuous week. Initially resistant to apologizing, Mansoor has now relented, offering an apology to Trisha for his sexist and misogynistic remarks directed at the star heroine.
Trisha, demonstrating grace, appears to have accepted Mansoor’s apology. She shared on her social media this afternoon, “To err is human, to forgive is divine,” bringing closure to the contentious dispute. However, the actress’s forgiving stance has sparked mixed reactions among netizens, with many opining that she should have let the legal system address the issue rather than extending forgiveness.
Mansoor Ali Khan faced severe backlash for his insensitive and derogatory comments about Trisha during a recent video interview. He expressed disappointment for not having the opportunity to perform a rape scene with Trisha in Thalapathy Vijay’s Leo.
Trisha, rightfully angered by Mansoor’s vulgar remarks, garnered support from numerous colleagues in the film industry and thousands of fans on social media. The National Council for Women (NCW) took suo moto cognizance of the matter, directing the Tamil Nadu government to take legal action against Mansoor Ali Khan. The controversy, which stirred public outrage, now appears to be moving towards resolution with Mansoor’s apology and Trisha’s forgiveness, even as discussions on the appropriateness of such forgiveness continue.
