Leo Actor Mansoor Ali Khan Passes Sexist Remark On Tamannaah¡¯s ¡®Kaavaalaa¡¯ Dance, Gets Schooled
In a recent press conference, Leo Actor Mansoor Ali Khan made sexist remarks about Tamannaah¡¯s ¡®Kaavaalaa¡¯ dance and got schooled in return.
Earlier this year, Tamannaah Bhatia took the internet by storm after featuring in the Jailer song Kaavaalaa. The song went on to become a chartbuster and people learnt both the lyrics and choreography of the song by heart. This big feat didn¡¯t go well with Leo actor Mansoor Ali Khan and he has now passed some unpleasant remarks against it.

Why did Mansoor criticise Tamannaah Bhatia?
While speaking about the censorship scenario in Tamil Nadu in reference to his film Saraku, Khan expressed his disappointment with the cuts and changes he was asked to make by the Censor Board. Mansoor brought up Kaavaalaa and questioned how the song was permitted, adding that the song was awful.
He further mimicked and mocked the song¡¯s steps and slammed Tamannaah.
Trade Analyst Manobala Vijayabalan took to Twitter and shared Mansoor¡¯s video with the caption, ¡°Highly condemn #Leo actor Mansoor Ali Khan's disrespectful speech about actress Tamannaah's #Jailer Kaavaalaa song in yesterday's press meet. This is not the right way to criticise the censor board.

Soon after this video went viral, several users took to the comment section and slammed Mansoor for his sexist remarks.
One user wrote, ¡°Criticise but should always respect others¡±. Another one said, ¡°So Disrespectful! A movie is an entertainment medium and it is fictional not reality. Talking in this way is too wrong by him.¡± The third wrote, ¡°He is an outdated actor. We do not know what struggle he is going through for his living. It¡¯s Better to leave it. Hope someone will inform him to change.¡±

Kaavaalaa was Anirudh Ravichander's composition and was sung by Shilpa Rao in the lyrics of Arunraja Kamaraj.
The popular actress performed eye-catching steps alongside Rajinikanth and even spoke about her experience of working with the veteran actor. She told ANI, "It is a dream come true to work with him (Rajinikanth). I will always cherish the memories spent on the Jailer set. He gifted me a book on a spiritual journey. It was so thoughtful of him. He had even autographed it."
