Actor Mansoor Ali Khan Files Defamation Suit In Madras High Court Against Actors Trisha, Kushboo And Chiranjeevi For Social Media Posts

While talking to the media following the success of the movie “Leo”, Mansoor made certain remarks about his co-actor Trisha. His comments were widely criticised as misogynistic and disrespectful. Trisha also commented on social media expressing her displeasure and condemned Khan's statements.

The Chennai police had also filed a case against Khan under Section 354A and 509 of the IPC. Though an anticipatory bail petition was moved by Khan, it was rejected by the court for being bereft of case details. Khan also made a public apology for his statements which was also accepted by Trisha.

Following this, Khan has now approached the Madras High Court saying that the defendant actors had made defamatory statements in public without properly verifying or ascertaining the truth. Khan also submitted that he had merely commented about the negative characters that he had played and not made personal comments.

“I submit that I have not uttered any wrong statement against any person personally but merely had commented on the negative shades that I had played, which has off-late become a vanishing trend and no longer in vogue and no personal comments had been made about the defendant or any woman in particular”, Khan said in his plea.
