Actor Parthiban is walking back his statements regarding Trisha Krishnan’s presence at a Chennai wedding reception with Vijay. His initial comments drew criticism, prompting an apology and clarification after Trisha’s sharp rebuke on social media.
Parthiban’s Initial Comments and Backlash
Parthiban expressed his regret and shared that he had even tried to get the controversial portion of the footage deleted before it went viral.
Trisha’s Strong Response to Criticism
He said, “I am not a slave to anyone. I have never been paid to attend an event, and I never will be. I will not join any political party or compromise my integrity for money. My honest feeling is that Thalapathy Vijay has overcome enormous obstacles to enter politics. Even the Karur stampede did not damage him as much as this wedding reception did. And Trisha should not have attended the wedding reception. That is my inner thought. But I did not go on stage with the intention of saying it. The event was pre-planned, and I will speak about that separately.”
In response, Trisha took to her X account and wrote, “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 without knowledge say more about the speaker than the person they’re aimed at.”
Vijay’s Divorce Proceedings Underway
Meanwhile, Vijay’s wife Sangeeta has sought an interim order to stay in their Chennai residence. She filed a petition for divorce against Vijay in the Chengalpattu family court in Chennai. Vijay and Sangeeta married in June 1998 in the UK and in August 1999, in front of fans in Chennai. The couple has two children, Jason Sanjay and Divya Saasha.
The controversy highlights the intense scrutiny celebrities face. While Parthiban has apologized, the incident underscores the importance of responsible commentary, particularly within the rapidly evolving landscape of Kollywood.
