Mansoor Turns Off Phone, Skips Police Summons As Legal Trial Begins Over His Remark On Trisha
Tamil actor Mansoor Ali Khan called for a massive backlash against himself after he made some distasteful and derogatory remarks against actress Trisha. Soon after, he was booked under Section 354 A (sexual harassment) and Section 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to outrage the modesty of women) of IPC.
Earlier today, Mansoor escaped the police summon!
News18 reported, ¡°Mansoor Ali Khan has gone incognito. Reportedly, his house is locked and his phone is switched off. This comes hours before he was supposed to appear before the Chennai police in connection to the derogatory remarks he made against Trisha. Meanwhile, his lawyer has filed for an anticipatory bail in court.¡±
Recently Mansoor and Trisha featured in the popular movie Leo but didn¡¯t share a screen together.
Commenting on the same, Mansoor said in Tamil, ¡°When I heard that I was acting with Trisha, I thought there would be a bedroom scene in the film. I thought I would carry her to the bedroom just like I did with other actresses in my earlier movies. I have done so many rape scenes and it¡¯s not new to me.¡±
¡°But these guys didn¡¯t even show Trisha to me on the sets during the shoot in Kashmir.¡±
Khan¡¯s comment was received with massive criticism including megastar Chiranjeevi tweeting, ¡°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.¡±
How did Trisha react to Mansoor¡¯s comments?
Trisha took to Twitter and expressed, ¡°A recent video has come to my attention where Mr Mansoor Ali Khan has spoken about me in a vile manner. I strongly condemn this and find it sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive, and in bad taste.¡±
¡°He can keep wishing, but I am grateful never to have shared screen space with someone as pathetic as him, and I will make sure it never happens for the rest of my film career as well. People like him bring a bad name to mankind.¡±
Mansoor said that he¡¯ll not apologise!
During a recent event, Khan said, ¡°Do I look like someone who will apologise? The media can write whatever they want against me. People know who I am. I have the support of the Tamil people. I haven't said anything wrong. I will not apologise."
