Tamil cinema rarely has a dull moment — and the latest storm involves actor-director R. Parthiban, actress Trisha Krishnan, and a comment that set social media on fire.
This controversy sits against the backdrop of Thalapathy Vijay‘s highly publicised personal life — specifically his ongoing divorce proceedings from wife Sangeetha Sornalingam. The appearance of Vijay and Trisha together in coordinated outfits at a public event was always going to invite scrutiny. What made it messy was when public figures started weighing in uninvited.
