On Monday, Trisha shared an open letter from her lawyer on her X account. In the letter, she clearly stated that she does not want her name to be used in such a "distasteful" way and clarified that she has no connection with any political party.

This is with reference to the distasteful comment about my client that is circulating in the media.
My client never expected such a 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 continuosly maintained in the past, she has always taken a neutral stand when it comes to politics.
My client wishes to be defined only by her craft and not by any alleged political alignment. Further and most importantly, it is common saying that personal lives should never be made the subject of public alleged political alignment. Further and most importantly, it is common saying that personal lives should never be made the subject of public commentary or discourse, and it is expected that persons holding high positions maintain responsibility and equanimity in public discourse.
It is requested that my client's name not be drawn into matters that do not concern her."
In the caption, Trisha Krishnan wrote, “Disrespect should and always will be called out.”
