Mansoor Ali Khan faced severe criticism for making insensitive comments about Trisha. Following the National Commission for Women's intervention, DGP Shankar Jiwal took action, leading to the Chennai police booking Khan over his remarks against Trisha. An inquiry into the matter took place on November 21. Despite the backlash, Khan refused to apologise to Trisha, drawing condemnation from celebrities like Chiranjeevi and Lokesh Kanagaraj.
According to The Hindu, Mansoor Ali Khan faced legal action following the National Commission for Women's request to the Tamil Nadu DGP. Allegedly, he's been charged under Section 354 A (sexual harassment) and Section 509 (outraging modesty of a woman). The Chennai police reportedly conducted an inquiry at Khan's residence.
Here's what the actor said.
In the past, numerous remarks from male celebrities aimed at women have ignited debates, provoked outrage, and sparked vital conversations about gender sensitivity and equality. Here are some recent instances spotlighting such controversial statements made by male celebrities.
Abdul Razzaq
Abdul Razzaq faced backlash after making a controversial analogy during discussions about the ICC World Cup 2023 and the Pakistani team's performance. He sparked outrage by using an inappropriate comparison, suggesting that Pakistan lacked the right intentions for player development, using a reference to marrying Aishwarya Rai to ensure a virtuous child.
Shahid Afridi's reaction, seen laughing and applauding during Razzaq's statement, added to the controversy. Razzaq later apologised, clarifying that the mention of Aishwarya Rai's name was accidental and not intended in the cricket-related discussion.
Abdul Bari Siddiqui
Abdul Bari Siddiqui, a senior leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), stirred controversy by making remarks about women with specific appearances supporting the women's reservation bill. During an event in Bihar's Muzaffarpur, he referenced women with lipstick and bob-cut hairstyles stepping forward due to the bill.
Later, he clarified that his party had been supporting the bill from the start, explaining that his comments were intended in a colloquial manner to connect with the audience. The RJD has been a vocal critic of the bill, advocating for a quota within the quota to include OBC women.
Nitish Kumar
During a speech in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar faced backlash for his remarks on women's education and population control. In response to the criticism, he apologised, stating, "I've always advocated for education in population control and women's empowerment. I retract my statements." During his address, Kumar made remarks about educated women knowing how to manage pregnancy and linked women's education to a decline in fertility rates over time.
