Actress Parvathy Criticises Mohanlal’s Resignation As AMMA President Amid #MeToo Storm
Parvathy slammed Mohanlal's resignation as AMMA president and called it a cowardly act.
The Hema Committee report has shaken the entire country. It highlighted the workplace harassment women face in the Malayalam film industry. This committee was formed to investigate s*xual harassment and assault cases in the Malayalam cinema industry. After the Hema Committee Report surfaced, Mohanlal resigned as the President of AMMA (Association of Malayalam Movie Artists). Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu criticised the mass resignation of the executive panel led by Mohanlal from AMMA due to the report on s*xual harassment.
Parvathy Reacts To Mohanlal’s Resignation As AMMA President
In a conversation with Barkha Dutt, Actor Parvathy Thiruvothu bashed the mass resignation of the executive panel led by Mohanlal. She called it a ‘cowardly act’ and revealed that there is an authoritarian control within the film association. Parvathy also talked about her resignation from the association. She stated that she was happy to resign as there was a lack of freedom to voice out their opinions. Parvathy shared that her first reaction to the collective resignation was, “How cowardly.” How cowardly of them to walk away from a position where they now have to face the media.
Moreover, she said that once again it seems to be up to the women to carry on the discussions and debates. She added that it would have been great if they at least wanted to collaborate with the government and stakeholders to find a solution. This is the same executive committee that denied the existence of any such issues until the allegations against them surfaced. Parvathy further added that she was not surprised by their actions. She used to be part of AMMA, so she knows how they operate. That’s why she happily left the association.
