Actor Mansoor Ali Khan met with the press recently during a meet where he talked about the currently raging controversy surrounding lyricist Vairamuthu, and also touched various other topics.

Speaking about the Aandal row, he said: "It is a huge mistake (H Raja's scathing words on the lyricist). Vairamuthu is a creator. Using such uncouth, demeaning words on him (is not right). 

I started listening to a WhatsApp message but stopped it in the middle. I couldn't (continue hearing it). Vairamuthu is not a 100% perfect man - he even spoke against Modi dissidents, referring to them as dogs. It did anger me. But still, he is an artist."
