“Trisha Krishnan Shouldn’t Have Attended The Wedding Reception With Thalapathy Vijay,” Says R Parthiban As His ‘Sit At Home’ Remark Earns Backlash

Actor-director R. Parthiban recently addressed the controversy surrounding his remarks about Trisha Krishnan after the comments sparked widespread backlash online. The issue began when Parthiban made a remark about the actor during a stage appearance at the Galatta Awards, shortly after Trisha was seen attending a wedding reception in Chennai with Vijay Thalapathy. The joint appearance had already attracted attention because it came amid reports of Vijay’s ongoing divorce proceedings with his wife, Sangeetha Sornalingam, where she alleged that the actor was having an affair with an actress, which had fuelled speculation about his personal life. Read on to know what this is all about.

“Trisha Krishnan Shouldn’t Have Attended The Wedding Reception With Thalapathy Vijay,” Says R Parthiban Amid Backlash

During the awards event, Parthiban used wordplay referencing Trisha’s popular character Kundavai from Ponniyin Selvan while responding to a prompt on stage. He remarked, “It is better to ask this Kundavai to sit at home for a while.” He added, “It is better if she doesn’t step out because it is creating a lot of issues.” The comment quickly went viral on social media, with many interpreting it as a dig at Trisha’s public appearance with Vijay.

How Did Trisha Krishnan React To Parthiban’s Jibe?

Trisha later reacted to the remark through a pointed social media post, criticising the statement without directly naming Parthiban. “A microphone doesn’t make a comment intelligent or humorous. It just makes stupidity louder,” she said. She also wrote in her post that she had been informed by the organisers of the event that her name and picture had been included at the last minute at the request of “an individual conveyed through his assistant.”

Following the backlash, Parthiban first expressed regret and later shared a nearly eight-minute video explaining the context behind his words. In the video, he said the comment was made spontaneously and “In anger,” and insisted that he never intended to target Trisha personally. He also clarified that he did not request organisers to display her photograph on stage and described such claims as completely false.

Parthiban Explained The Context Behind His Words

In the same video, Parthiban said, “There is a difference between a mistake and wrongdoing. A mistake is something done unknowingly. A wrongdoing is something done willingly. Similarly, there is a difference between an apology and expressing regret.”

He said, “When I was speaking about Thalapathy Vijay and Ajith Kumar, a photo of Trisha appeared on-screen. I was genuinely shocked and did not know how to react at that moment. The claim that I specifically requested her photo to be displayed is 100 per cent wrong.”

He further added, “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.”

Vijay Thalapathy-Trisha Krishnan’s Appearance Together

The remark stemmed from the viral video of Trisha’s appearance at the wedding reception with Vijay Thalapathy. According to him, the remark was not meant to suggest that women should remain indoors, a notion he said he does not believe in. He acknowledged that the comment was a mistake and expressed regret for the controversy. And said he had even tried to get the segment removed from the event recording before it spread widely online.

Despite his clarification, the episode has continued to spark debate within the Tamil film industry, particularly as it intersects with ongoing speculation surrounding Vijay Thalapathy’s personal life. Meanwhile, neither Vijay nor Trisha has issued any further statements about Parthiban’s latest explanation.
