Lokesh’s response was to share the words of Trisha who criticized Mansoor Ali Khan in harsh language.
Trisha said that the actor is an insult to humanity and strongly condemns Mansoor’s words against her. Trisha’s response was on social media platform X.
“Recently I saw a video in which Mansoor Ali Khan spoke about me in a vile and disgusting manner. I strongly condemn it. It is a sexist, disrespectful, misogynist, disgusting, and bad taste statement.
Now I am happy that I will never share screen space with him and I will make sure that never happens in my film career. People like him are an insult to humanity,” Trisha said.
Earlier Mansoor Ali Khan made a controversial statement while speaking at Leo’s audio launch. Mansoor had said that Trisha could not be put to bed like Khushbu was put to bed in an earlier film and that there were no rope scenes in Leo in any of the films he had done.
