Tamil Nadu BJP Chief Apologizes for Remarks on Actor Trisha

Nainar Nagendran apologized for a derogatory remark involving actress Trisha after backlash from opposition and her representatives, calling the comment a mistake, party leaders said.

  • On Monday, Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran apologised in Chennai after his remark dragged actress Trisha Krishnan into an attack on actor-turned-politician Vijay, saying it was made `by mistake` and expressing `heartfelt regrets` if anyone was hurt.
  • Nagendran's remark — invoking Trisha — came while rebutting Vijay's election claim, telling him `Come out of Trisha's house first, then something can happen,` and mocking his inexperience.
  • Trisha's lawyer, advocate Nithyaesh Natraj, called the remarks `distasteful` and said on February 15 she is not politically affiliated; Trisha posted `Disrespect should and always will be called out` on X and Instagram.
  • Senior BJP figures Vanathi Srinivasan and Annamalai spoke to Nagendran about the matter as Opposition leaders condemned the remark as an `uncivilised` personal attack.
  • With elections approaching, the episode involves film stars and politics, risking damage to party image in Tamil Nadu, as Nagendran's remarks targeted actress Trisha and Vijay.
