Mr. Mansoor needs to change the mindset that if you have a crowd of admirers behind you, they will appreciate whatever you say. Speak in public with dignity and social responsibility…@trishtrashers #leo#trisha #TrishaKrishnan https://t.co/VvymhWMe9d

Khushbu Sundar, Malavika Mohanan, Chinmayi Sripada, Amaal Malik targeted in Mansoor Ali Khan’s comments, didn’t mince her words either. Taking to Twitter, she expressed her vehement condemnation of the actor’s speech. In a powerful statement, she addressed the broader issue of men feeling entitled to insult women, emphasizing that such behavior would not be ignored. Khushbu called on Mansoor Ali Khan to apologize not only to the female actors he mentioned but also to women in general for displaying a “dirty, misogynist, lowly mindset.” Her tweet highlighted the strength and resilience of women in today’s society, asserting that they are more than capable of standing up for their respect and dignity.
Some men think it's their birth right to insult a woman or speak about her in a most disrespectful manner. Recent video of #MansoorAliKhan is one such example. I vehemently condemn his speech. They think their "chumma comedykku sonnen" attitude will be overlooked n ignored. No,…

This is disgusting on so many levels.
It’s shameful enough that this is how this man views women & thinks about them, but then to have the guts(!!) to speak about it this openly & unapologetically, not even worried about repercussions??
