Actor Trisha Krishnan addressed recent remarks made by actor-director R Parthiban during an award ceremony in Chennai, sharing a strongly worded message on social media that quickly drew widespread attention. Without directly naming anyone, the actor criticised the tone of certain comments made at the event, suggesting that public platforms should not be used to amplify thoughtless statements.
Her response soon triggered an apology from Parthiban, who acknowledged that the situation had gone wrong and expressed regret over his words.
Trisha Shares Strong Message On Social Media
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Trisha posted a statement addressing the controversy without directly identifying the person responsible for the remarks. In her post, she also revealed that her name and photograph were added to the event presentation shortly before the programme began.
She wrote, "I was informed by the organisers of a recent event that my name and picture were included at the last minute at the request of an individual conveyed through his assistant (sic)."
The actor went on to criticise the nature of the comments made at the ceremony, stating:"A microphone doesn’t make a comment intelligent or humorous. It just makes stupidity louder. Crude words without knowledge say more about the speaker than the person they’re aimed at (sic)."
Her remarks quickly circulated online, sparking discussions among fans and industry observers.
R Parthiban Issues Public Apology
Shortly after Trisha’s statement gained traction, Parthiban shared a message on X addressing the controversy. His brief post acknowledged that the situation had been mishandled and expressed regret.
He wrote, "What happened. Has gone all wrong in this. There's no way but to regret! (sic)."
The apology followed mounting criticism on social media over his remarks at the event.
What Sparked The Controversy?
The issue traces back to a moment during the award ceremony when Parthiban was asked to comment on actors he had worked with previously. When a photograph of Trisha appeared on the screen, he made a comment referencing her popular Kundavai character from Ponniyin Selvan.
According to reports from the event, he said:"Indha Kundavaiye konjaneram kunthavaikkirathu nallath (It is better to ask this Kundavai to sit at home for a while)."
He reportedly added, "It is better if she doesn't step out because it is creating a lot of issues."
The remark quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing criticism from several viewers.
Vijay, Trisha And The Public Spotlight
The conversation around the incident also unfolded amid recent public attention surrounding Trisha and actor-politician Thalapathy Vijay. The two were recently seen arriving together at a wedding reception in Chennai, posing for photographs before leaving the venue together.
Their appearance attracted considerable attention online, particularly because it came shortly after news emerged that Vijay’s wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, had filed for divorce. The petition reportedly cited “persistent mental cruelty, neglect and desertion” and alleged Vijay’s involvement in an extramarital relationship with an actress.
Trisha has not commented on the speculation regarding her personal life.
Vijay Responds To Ongoing Speculation
Amid the circulating rumours, Vijay addressed the issue during a Women’s Day event organised by his political party. While speaking to supporters, he urged them not to focus on the controversy.
He said, "There are some issues running around in the recent past, isn't it? I see all of you busy fighting those allegations and getting hurt in the process. In fact, I get hurt seeing you get hurt. I will take care of all that. Let's focus only on people's problems. Don't get hurt about that problem, it's not worth bothering about. Be confident. Only good things will happen."
His statement aimed to shift attention back to public issues rather than ongoing speculation.
