Beauty means Passion
Today this babelicious glittery eyed ‘gorgeous’ Parvathy Omanakuttan is India’s one of the most sought-after models, with a fair number of films in her kitty.
As a toddler, she had her first few wobbly steps in Kerala, at Changanasserry a small town near Kottayam. But before she was an year old, as her family had shifted to Mumbai, she had her schooling there with a bit of kathak and bharathanatyam. Even without her knowing, an infatuation bloomed in her. Like every other girl of that age, she too kept it to herself. Secrets that ooze excitement and interest can’t be hidden for long.
It was 1994, a late evening in the city of Mumbai. A night which had millions of Indians glued infront of the television to watch Aiswarya Rai being crowned ‘Miss World1994’. As she was watching this proud moment over the television, she explicitly made use of the opportunity to convey to her family, her dream to be a ‘Miss World’ someday. With their constant support and encouragement added to her endless efforts and confidence, she climbed up the ladders of modelling. The year 2008 had her crowned as Miss India World, followed by the Miss World Asia & Oceania, the first runner-up title at the Miss World 2008 pageant. Today this babelicious glittery eyed ‘gorgeous’ Parvathy Omanakuttan is India’s one of the most sought-after models, with a fair number of films in her kitty.
For the cover shoot, model-esque Parvathy strides into the studios at Kochi, dressed in a grey t-shirt and ash legging, wearing flip flops. Though seated like a doll for the makeover, she continues chatting with whoever passes her way. Though brought up in Mumbai, she has so much of a Malayali in her which I could make it out from her food tastes and from her colloquial chats in Malayalam.
Define yourself in two words
Impulsive and Perseverant
Having got a taste of Bollywood, Tollywood and Mollywood, you are more comfortable with….
I am an adjustable person, who gets fussy the least. For me, the exposures which I had from these three industries were unique and beneficial. This experience taught me that language is never a barrier.
Your dream role in a Malayalam movie….
Any good role which has a strong and old existence in the movie, be it comedy, serious or even negative roles.
If Hollywood made a movie on your life, whom would you like to see, play the lead role as you…..
It would be me, myself. No one else can be what I am.
Your take on the brutal rape which took place in Delhi….
The victim has undergone the worst and no point in discussing the pain she is suffering. The question should be ‘how to curb such brutal attacks on women’. In Kerala talks about such incidents for a few days and then forgets. Play your role to stop such atrocities.
According to you who is the worst dressed man in Bollywood….
There is nothing like a ‘worst dressed person’. Even the most uncouth dress can look good on a person who carries the right attitude which fits the outfit. Salma Khan…he looks hot in whatever he wears.
If you were to interview a celeb, who would it be…..
I would limit this question to Kerala. It would be ex-actress Manju Warrier. I have some questions to ask her, based on some rumours.
What makes you angry?
People’s behaviour which can be annoying at times
An embarrassing moment in your life….
Have many. Couple of days back me and my manager got stuck in lift. To engage myself I was singing and dancing and all of sudden when the doors opened people found me standing in an odd pose.
What do you look for in a movie, before signing up?
Its script… definitely
Like to be called ‘sexy’ or ‘pretty’……
Combination of both
Are you single?
What do you think? Keep guessing….
One attribute in a man which can make you fall in love with him…
Can’t tell you what I love. There are good looking men around, but the minute they open their mouth for a conversation, hopes are doomed.
Films in your kitty….
‘KQ’ a Malayalam movie releasing in March is the next. In it I will be playing the role of ‘Sunaina’ a girl who comes to Mattanchery from UK, to write an article about art for the ‘London Times’.
