Actress Parvathy Thiruvothu strongly criticized the mass resignation of the Mohanlal-led committee

The devastating allegation of sexual harassment caused actor Parvathy Thiruvothu, who leads the executive panel of the Association of Malayalam Movie Artists (AMMA), to leave in droves. She referred to it as a “cowardly act” and said that the film organization had an autocratic control. She continued by saying that she was happy to leave the group since it forbade individuals from speaking out.

In an interview with Barkha Dutt’s Mojo Story, Parvathy spoke about how she first felt when the whole governing body was dissolved. “When I learned about the group resignation, my first reaction was, ‘How cowardly.'” How daring of them to abandon a role where they are now expected to address the media? Once again, it is our responsibility as women to forward the discourse and the arguments “added Parvathy.

“It would have been fantastic if they had at least indicated that they intended to collaborate with the authorities and other relevant parties to find a solution. When the matter was still pending, this same executive committee invited back Dileep, the principal charged in the sexual assault case. She criticized the organization and said, “This is the executive committee that claimed none of these things actually exist at all until the allegations against them came out.”

Parvathy also held the administration accountable for their negligence. The administration, she said, “was also irresponsible in saying things like, ‘If women have complaints, they should just file a FIR and come up with the names.'”

It is entirely the responsibility of women to identify, humiliate, and then bear the weight of it. What evidence of justice do you need to provide in order for us to identify and disgrace you, I wonder. Nobody cares what happens to us in terms of our life, job, legal bills, or mental health problems after that.”

The ‘Thangalaan’ actor believes that women are often held responsible for issues that are not their fault. “When will the guys confront themselves? In front of their community, call one another out? They undoubtedly contribute to the issue.

They are the issue. Women in Cinema Collective supports women who are coming out, and I have the utmost respect for them for doing so. However, they didn’t need to be forced to take this action since the Hema Committee recommendation ought to have been put into effect long ago. Justice is already being delayed,” she said.

“And you are keying them when the report is out. We’ve followed all the rules, been allies, and tried to help the administration, yet we still have to resort to vigilantism,” Parvathy said.

The star said that she wasn’t shocked by the decision to accept a mass resignation. To be honest, I’m not shocked. I have experience with AMMA and have seen how they operate. I gladly withdrew from the association for a reason. With this type of behavior, they can’t deceive anybody.

Rather than speaking out in favor of it, they should first cover it up and then begin demonizing the women who are coming out. They are being recognized for who they are by society,” she said.

Parvathy also revealed the fear-based system in place at AMMA, which prevents individuals from standing up for their rights. “I think it will benefit them to have better leadership at this point in time,” she said, providing further details. Perhaps the association will benefit from this interruption.

In addition, I support AMMA members because I believe they should have received more for their membership fees. There is a culture of fear, and you are unable to advocate for your rights. Indeed, it was an authoritarian setting.”

AMMA’s highest governing board, headed by Mohanlal, resigned on August 27 a few days after the Hema Committee report was made public. The investigation exposed widespread sexual harassment, lobbying, salary inequality, casting couch abuses, and other systematic problems.

Following the release of the shocking report, other women shared their experiences, and Siddique, Baburaj, and Jeyan, the executive members, were accused of sexual misconduct.
