The actress described the link as \u201cdistasteful&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Recently, Tamil Nadu BJP president Nainar Nagendran took a jibe at Vijay, questioning his political inexperience. However, his remark referencing Trisha Krishnan, rumoured to be Vijay\u2019s lady love, triggered major outrage.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>What Tamil Nadu BJP chief said?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Taking a swipe at Vijay, the Tamil Nadu BJP president reportedly said, \u201cVijay is very innocent, and he doesn\u2019t understand politics. He must come out of his nest first. Also, he must come out of Trisha\u2019s house to understand the ground-level situation in Tamil Nadu.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The comment drew sharp criticism from political leaders and fans alike, who accused him of making personal and \u201csexist&#8221; remarks. Many criticised the BJP leader for dragging the actress into political discourse and turning the debate personal.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Statement issued by actress\u2019s team<\/h3>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Under the instructions from Trisha Krishnan, her representative issued a communiqu\u00e9.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The statement said it was in reference to the distasteful comment about her which was circulating in the media. It added that she never expected such a distasteful and inappropriate remark to be made by a person holding a high stature in the State\u2019s political space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The statement made it clear that she is not affiliated with any political party and does not intend to be. It said she has always maintained a neutral stand when it comes to politics. It further stated that she wishes to be defined only by her craft and not by any alleged political alignment. It added that personal lives should never be made the subject of public commentary or discourse, and that persons holding high positions are expected to maintain responsibility and equanimity in public discourse.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The actress requested that her name should not be drawn into matters that do not concern her.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-18814a1d8226d353 artnws newsletter\">\n<p>Handpicked stories, in your inbox<\/p>\n<p>A newsletter with the best of our journalism<\/p>\n<p><input type=\"text\" placeholder=\"Enter Your Email\" class=\"jsx-18814a1d8226d353 artnwinpt\" value=\"\"\/><button class=\"jsx-18814a1d8226d353 subscrbe newsletter\">submit<\/button><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c88456722e94b84d jsx-609341444 atbtlink Location\"><span>Location :<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Tamil Nadu, India, India<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c88456722e94b84d jsx-609341444 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>February 16, 2026, 13:56 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c88456722e94b84d jsx-609341444 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/india\/\">india<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> \u2018Distasteful\u2019: Trisha Krishnan Condemns Tamil Nadu BJP Chief\u2019s Crass Remark On Her<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
