Veteran actor Kamal Haasan has found himself in trouble after making a remark about co-star Trisha Krishnan at the promotional event of their new film Thug Life. What appeared to be a casual exchange between the two actors has ignited outrage online, with netizens split on the intention behind his remark.
The Viral Moment That Sparked It All
While in the promo activity, Trisha was quizzed over what her favorite food was. She answered with a description of a boiled banana recipe, but could not mention its name. Kamal Haasan then responded with, “She doesn’t know the name but likes sticking it in her mouth,” then giving her knee a pat as a jesting comment. Despite Trisha trying to brush the moment off, the comment promptly went viral and generated mixed feedback on the Internet.
Public Response: Mixed Views
Social media was quick to respond some called Kamal out for making an obscene and inappropriate comment, but others came to his defense, saying the joke was innocuous and taken out of context. The situation has led to wider debates around on-stage behavior and respect during public interactions, particularly between senior actors and their junior co-stars.
