Tamil Nadu BJP chief Nainar Nagendran on February 16 expressed regret over his derogatory remark that dragged actor Trisha Krishnan into an attack on actor-turned-politician Vijay. Nagendran, 65, said the comment was made “by mistake”, shortly after Trisha called him out in a strongly worded statement.

“This was a statement made by mistake. Our all India women's wing chief Vanathi Srinivasan and Annamalai has spoken to me about this matter. If anyone has been hurt by my statement, I express my heartfelt regrets,” the Tamil Nadu BJP president said.

The apology comes a day after Nagendran triggered a political row by suggesting that Vijay should “come out of Trisha’s house” to gain experience and succeed in politics.
