Subsequently, following a complaint by the National Commission for Women, an FIR was registered against Khan at the Thousand Light All Women Police Station in Chennai. During the police inquiry, Khan expressed regret for deeply upsetting Trisha with his comment, seeking her forgiveness and acknowledging her as a colleague in the film industry. This apology came after initially refusing to apologize and claiming his remark had been misinterpreted.
