Trisha condemns ‘distasteful remark’ after Tamil Nadu BJP leader Nainar Nagenthran’s comment draws ire

Key Highlights

• A statement drafted by Trisha’s legal counsel reads, “My client [Trisha] never expected that such distasteful and inappropriate remark would be made by a person holding a high stature in the State’s political space.
• My client makes it very clear that she is not affiliated with any political party neither does she intend to be.
• Further, just as my client had continuously maintained in the past, she has always taken a neutral stand when it comes to politics.” “My client wishes to be defined only by her craft and not by any alleged political alignment.
• Further and most importantly, it is a common saying that personal lives should never be made the subject of public commentary or discourse, and it is expected that persons holding high positions maintain responsibility and equanimity in public discourse,” read the statement, adding that Trisha’s name shouldn’t be drawn into matter that do not concern her.
• Disrespect should and always will be called out.
