Kangana Ranaut has come out in support of Trisha Krishnan days after Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Thalapathy Vijay warned those making double meaning comments against women and said it would invite legal consequences. Ranaut, who is also a BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi, was speaking to reporters after chairing a District Development Coordination and Monitoring Committee (DISHA) meeting in Kullu, when she expressed her support for Trisha.
“You have seen what happened in Tamil Nadu, where a very respected artist and actress was involved in a matter where the relationship was between both parties. However, when it comes to abuses and character assassination, it is always the woman who is targeted,” Kangana said, without directly mentioning Trisha.
“We all know that this is not restricted to India alone and is prevalent worldwide that character of working women, successful women, actors, politicians, women at the position of power and authority is targeted to bring her down,” the actress added.
Udhayanidhi Stalin’s Remarks On Trisha Sparks Debate
Kangana Ranaut’s comments come weeks after Udhayanidhi Stalin also sparked a big controversy for his comments on Trisha. During a DMK protest in Thanjavur over the Cauvery water dispute and Karnataka’s proposed Mekedatu project, Udhayanidhi Stalin was addressing a gathering when he criticised Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay. As the crowd reportedly began chanting Trisha’s name, Udhayanidhi responded with a remark in Tamil that roughly translates to: “Wherever water comes, whether it comes or not, water should come there.” However, he immediately clarified that he was referring to the Cauvery water.
The remark quickly became a political flashpoint, with the ruling Tamilaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK) accusing Udhayanidhi of making an offensive and objectifying comment about a woman in a public forum. As the controversy escalated, Udhayanidhi was arrested from his Chennai residence on August 4 after a case was filed against him in connection with his speech. He later was granted bail.
