Parvathy stated, “My parents, my brother, and my friends created a protective circle around me during that challenging time. This support was crucial when I spoke out against injustice. Many women joined the Women In Cinema Collective, some of whom were unfamiliar with receiving love and empathy. It made me realize that not everyone has the same support system.”
