Parvathy Opens Up on a Disturbing On-Set Experience

Malayalam actress Parvathy has sparked a fresh conversation about women’s safety and dignity in the film industry after revealing a deeply uncomfortable experience she faced during the shoot of a film starring Dhanush. Speaking candidly at a recent public interaction, the actress shared how a lack of sensitivity on set left her feeling helpless and angry.
Parvathy recalled that she was required to perform scenes where water was continuously poured on her throughout the day. What made the situation far more difficult was that she was on her period at the time. Despite her physical discomfort, the shooting continued without any consideration for her condition. She revealed that she had not even brought spare clothes, as she was not informed in advance about the extent of the water-based scenes.
According to Parvathy, when she requested permission to return to her hotel briefly to change clothes, the director scolded her and insisted that there was no time, stating that the shoot had to be completed immediately. The response left her feeling cornered and unheard. Eventually, overwhelmed by discomfort and frustration, she shouted out loud that she was on her period, hoping it would make them understand the seriousness of the situation.
The actress said the moment was particularly distressing because there was no other woman present on the set. She described feeling extremely uneasy, not just physically, but emotionally as well, due to the lack of empathy and support around her. Parvathy added that many women in the industry silently endure such situations, often choosing to suffer rather than speak up.
She also highlighted a larger social issue, pointing out that girls and women are conditioned to hide the fact that they are menstruating and feel ashamed if someone finds out. Parvathy stressed that menstruation is a natural biological process and should never be treated as something embarrassing or inconvenient.
Her revelation has resonated widely, with many praising her courage to speak openly about an issue that is often ignored in film sets and workplaces. The incident has once again brought attention to the need for basic sensitivity, safe working environments, and clear protocols to protect women artists in the entertainment industry.
