Actor Trisha Krishnan has finally responded to recent controversy surrounding her name after filmmaker-actor R. Parthiban made remarks about her during a public event. Without directly naming him, Trisha addressed the situation on social media, criticising what she described as “stupidity” and calling out comments made about her during a recent ceremony.
I was informed by the organisers of a recent event that my name and picture were included at the last minute at the request of an individual conveyed through his assistant.

A microphone doesn’t make a comment intelligent or humorous. It just makes stupidity louder.Crude words…
The issue began after Trisha attended a reception ceremony alongside actor-turned-politician Vijay (actor), sparking widespread discussion online. The event took place shortly after reports emerged that Vijay’s wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, had filed for separation. Photos and videos of Vijay and Trisha arriving together at the reception quickly circulated on social media, leading to speculation and intense online chatter.
At the event, Vijay was seen carrying a bouquet while greeting the newlyweds. Trisha interacted warmly with guests, hugging and shaking hands as she joined the celebrations. The two walked together toward the stage to congratulate the couple and posed for photographs before leaving the venue around the same time. Their appearance together became a trending topic across several social media platforms.
Amid the online buzz, Parthiban appeared to take a dig at Trisha during the Galatta Awards. During the ceremony, he was asked about actors he had previously worked with. When Trisha’s photograph appeared on the screen, he made a remark referencing her character Kundavai from Ponniyin Selvan.
Using wordplay, he commented that “this Kundavai should be kept at home for a few days,” suggesting she should not be allowed to come out. The remark drew criticism from many viewers who felt the comment was inappropriate and unnecessary.
Following the controversy, Parthiban took to his social media account on March 8 and issued an apology for the remark, acknowledging the backlash and expressing regret over his words.
Trisha later addressed the matter through a post on X (formerly Twitter). While she did not mention Parthiban by name, her statement appeared to respond directly to the situation.

அது தவறாகவே
நடந்துள்ளது இதில்.
வருந்துவதைத் தவிர
வேறு வழியில்லை !https://t.co/pOTDcx1QR8
She revealed that her name and picture had been included in the event presentation at the last minute at the request of an individual through an assistant. According to her post, the organisers themselves had informed her about the last-minute addition.
In her message, Trisha criticised the remarks made at the event, saying that having a microphone does not automatically make a comment intelligent or humorous. She added that crude statements made without proper knowledge reflect more about the speaker than the person being targeted.
Her strongly worded response quickly gained attention online, with many fans and supporters praising her for addressing the issue firmly yet without escalating the controversy further.
The discussion surrounding the event has also been linked to developments in Vijay’s personal life. His wife, Sangeeta Sornalingam, recently filed a petition for divorce at the Chengalpattu family court in Chennai. Along with the divorce petition, she has reportedly sought an interim order to continue residing in their Chennai home.
Vijay and Sangeeta share a long history together. The couple first married in June 1998 in the United Kingdom, followed by another ceremony in Chennai in August 1999 attended by fans and well-wishers. They have two children together — Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha.
While the personal developments have drawn significant media attention, Vijay has also been focusing on his political ambitions. The actor, who has been gradually transitioning into politics, is preparing to contest the upcoming Tamil Nadu elections. In recent months, he has been actively travelling across the state and holding rallies to connect with supporters and strengthen his political presence.
Despite the ongoing speculation and public scrutiny, Trisha’s statement indicates that she intends to address misinformation and criticism directly when necessary. Her response has resonated with many fans who felt the remarks made about her were unfair.
As the controversy settles, the episode highlights how quickly celebrity appearances at public events can turn into major discussions in the age of social media.
