Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has spoken up in support of Trisha Krishnan after the actor found herself at the centre of a controversy last month over her presence at the Independence Day 2026 celebrations in Chennai. The Karuppu actor had attended the event at Fort St George on August 15 and was seated next to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Vijay’s parents, SA Chandrasekhar and Shobha Chandrasekhar.
In a new video post shared by news agency PTI, Kangana spoke to reporters after chairing the District Development Coordination and Monitoring meeting at Kullu. Without directly namedropping Trisha, she went on to add, “You have seen what happened in Tamil Nadu, where a very respected artist and actress was involved in a matter where the relationship was between both parties. However, when it comes to abuses and character lynching, it is always the woman who is targeted.”
She said how women’s character is always used against them to destroy them and it was about time that society looked within to understand how women are treated. “We all know that this is not restricted to India alone and is prevalent worldwide that character of working women, successful women, actors, politicians, women at the position of power and authority is targeted to bring her down,” she said.
