Trisha on Mansoor Ali's comment
The controversy erupted after Mansoor Ali Khan's statement during an interview, where the actor said that he was left disappointed after there was ''no bedroom rape scene'' with Trisha in the film Leo.
Condemning Mansoor's remark, Trisha vowed never to share a screen space with him again. However, Mansoor later made a public apology. But recently, reports came out that the actor is reportedly pursuing legal action against Trisha.
Condemning Mansoor's remark, Trisha said, “A recent video has come to my notice where Mr Mansoor Ali Khan has spoken about me in a vile and disgusting 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.”

Sandeep Reddy Vanga's crime drama shows the violent world of Ranbir Kapoor's Vijay, who kills people like mosquitoes and treats women like sex object. The movie also features Bobby Deol, Rashmika Mandanna, Tripti Dimri, Shakti Kapoor, Suresh Oberoi and Prem Chopra.
WION's Shomini Sen wrote in her review, ''The first encounter between Rashmika and Ranbir's character is uncomfortable. He makes a crass remark on her body and then the next moment she has called off her engagement and left her family for him. The women in Vanga's world are charmed by men discussing women's anatomy with a straight face (remember Kabir Singh?) In Animal, he does try to show Mandanna's character to have a spine and speak up in between, but everything somehow is forgiven in the name of love. The toxicity, the bloodshed, the beast mode because hey the man is good in bed. Tripti Dimri plays a key role in the film but is also literally treated as a sex object and by the time her character comes on screen, you have given up on the man and the story itself.''
