In a controversial statement, Mansoor Ali Khan said that he thought there would be a bedroom scene in which he would be playing a rapist but during their schedule for 'Leo' in Kashmir he never got to meet Trisha.
Following this, Trisha stated that she would never again work with Mansoor Ali Khan and called Khan's remarks "sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive, and in bad taste."
Trisha also received support from various quarters on social media. Taking to X, senior actor Chiranjeevi said, "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," he said.
