Tamil actor Trisha on Monday (February 16, 2026) condemned the ‘distasteful and inappropriate remark’ that has been circulating on social media, and asserted that she is not aligned with any political party. While Trisha refrained from naming anyone, her statement comes just days after Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagenthran made a crass remark about her and actor and TVK chief Vijay while speaking to journalists at Chennai on February 13.
A statement drafted by Trisha’s legal counsel reads, “My client [Trisha] never expected that such distasteful and inappropriate remark would be made by a person holding a high stature in the State’s political space. My client makes it very clear that she is not affiliated with any political party neither does she intend to be. Further, just as my client had continuously maintained in the past, she has always taken a neutral stand when it comes to politics.”
