Parvathy Thiruvothu and Bhagyalakshmi clash over WCC dispute

Popular dubbing artist Bhayalakshmi and actress Parvathy Thiruvothu were recently seen engaging in a serious debate over WCC (Women in Cinema Collective). While Bhagyalakshmi was seen criticizing WCC, the ‘Thangalaan’ actress said that WCC paved the way for women in the film industry to come forward and open up about their issues, especially during the Hema commission report issue.

During an event that happened in Kozhikode, Bhagyalakshmi stood up to express her strong opinions against WCC as she said that the association should make efforts to spend some time with women who wish to share their experiences. According to Bhagyalakshmi, many women in the film industry have approached her seeking guidance to approach WCC, and their windows are closed by the association for some reasons.



Parvathy responded by saying, “It won’t be difficult to obtain my phone number as you know me well. Why won’t you join WCC?. Bhagyalakshmi gave a clear reply to this by saying, “We had discussed the issue that morning, and you had planned to meet the Chief Minister to submit the complaint. But later, I saw on TV that you went to meet him without me. When I asked about it, someone from your group mentioned that some of you didn’t want me there. Realizing that I wasn’t needed, I decided to step back from WCC.”


Recently in another event, Parvathy criticized young Malayalam actors by calling them worse than the older generation. She also said that newly released high-budget Malayalam movies glorify hyper-masculinity and misogyny. She said, “These movies are made to bring back the concept of alpha males and outdated notions about women.”


On the work front, Parvathy was last seen in ‘Her’.
