When Irrfan Khan's co-star Parvathy was asked for sexual favours; Malayalam star talks about toxic relatives

Mollywood's popular female actor Parvathy once said that she had to face numerous instances of abuse and harassment over the years, some even from her relatives.
 

Charlie actress Parvathy said she feels there has been an increase in instances of sexual abuse and sex-related crimes in all walks of life in recent years.

In a interview, Malayalam actress Parvathy made some shocking revelations about how she had faced sexual assaults and abuses from her co-workers in cinema. The actress also said that she had faced several instances of abuse and harassment over the years from her relatives too.

She revealed, "The men who make unwanted sexual advances are more now. Perverts and molesters are not a minority anymore."

The actress, who has starred in films such as Take Off, Charlie and Bangalore Days, said that she had her fair share of struggles to reach the top. Parvathy revealed that she was asked for sexual favours by some directors and even actors. The actress said she turned them down and that it could be the reason why she got fewer offers earlier.

“There are people in the film industry who ask you to sleep with them to get a role. They ask very blatantly like it is their right. I have said no. After a point, when you have made a mark in the industry, they won’t ask you,” Parvathy said in a recent interview.

She added that she had to face several instances of abuse and harassment over the years, some even from her relatives.

Parvathy also pointed out that it's unfortunate when your family and society keep reminding you that you are a woman and always have to be careful.
