• Conflict with Mansoor Ali Khan
A conflict arose between Trisha and Mansoor Ali Khan, an actor and politician, when Mansoor expressed regret for not having a "bedroom scene" with her in the film 'Leo' during a press conference in November 2023. Trisha later responded to Mansoor's remarks through a post on X, calling him sexist, disrespectful, misogynistic, repulsive, and in bad taste. Mansoor issued an apology to Trisha on X on 24 November 2023, which she accepted with the words 'To err is human, to forgive is divine.' However, on 28 November 2023, Mansoor announced his intention to file a defamation case and sue Trisha. He labelled his earlier apology as the "biggest joke."
