‘The discourse is important’

Parvathy stated that, in her opinion, the industry has already won because there were no talks on the topic seven years ago, making this discourse on the subject extremely important. "I believe that the media raising these issues this time is what makes me happy. Thank you, but it is not pointed out by me or any other female from the industry this time," she said. According to the actress, this supports her belief that the media serves as the fourth pillar of justice.

She continued by saying that it is useless to point fingers at anyone. Parvathy also discussed the absence of an audition culture in our industry. She said that in order to try out different genres and characters that she has not attempted yet, she makes it a point to attend multiple auditions outside of the Malayalam industry.
