Award-winning actor Parvathy was a victim of online trolling and abuse after she expressed her opinions about the misogynist scenes in Mammootty-starrer Kasaba.
Parvathy said, “I cannot say that I am fully satisfied with what Mammootty said about the issue. However, I am happy that he had addressed the issue.”
Parvathy said that she had sent a message to the mega star about the issues and Mammootty had replied that he was used to such incidents. The actress then explained that by that time the whole issue was blown out of proportion and that it had transformed itself into something which affected everybody rather than just Mammootty and herself.
Days after the issue snowballed into a controversy, Mammootty had said that he had not entrusted anyone with the task of defending him or his roles.
“Many advised me to restrain myself in voicing opinions publicly and said that there will be a lobby against me in the movies. But I cannot remain silent fearing that I may lose opportunities in films. Cinema has been my world for the past 12 years. I came on my own and still survive only through hard work and my strength of character. I will keep doing movies though there may be many hurdles on the way. I am not yet ready to leave,” said Parvathy.
Parvathy said that she was not ready to pretend meek and submissive. She added that even if she loses opportunities in the movies just because she had expressed her honest opinions, she would try hard to find roles by herself.
The actress clarified that she would speak about the ‘casting couch’ in Malayalam cinema, and would also reveal the names of those who had approached her inappropriately in exchange for roles. Parvathy said that strong evidence was required for that and she expressed doubt whether she would get support from the public if she revealed the names, in the present scenario.
