Actress Gayatri Varsha is an active star in the field of movies and serials. Gayathri had strongly criticized that arts like movies and serials are ignoring the minorities and that these are controlled by corporates. Gayatri says that in Kerala, where there are about 40 entertainment channels, the stories of Dalits, Muslims and marginalized people are not told, and caste supremacy prevails everywhere. The actress’s remarks were made in a speech delivered in Nadapuram Constituency ahead of the New Kerala Assembly.
At the same time, the star’s words are as follows: “When everyone is spreading propaganda, there is not a single media to stand with the truth-teller. The washing toenails of the most tangible corporate traits of the society we live in are digging deep into our cultural spaces, carving us up, denying us all freedom, and silencing our throats. After Narendra Modi came to power for the second time in India, a cultural policy has been implemented. No one knew it. About 35 serials are shown in a day. Not that everyone sees that much, but that they show us.
There are those among us who watch all the serials from six to ten o’clock. Is there a Muslim character in any of these serials? Is there a mother character who has come out of nowhere?, is there a stepmother? Is there a Dalit? Do we see Nangeli on television who said that I want the right to hide my nudity by cutting my hair and a woman who sings about the reaper of the working class? no Why is that? None of them are worth watching? If you ask me who was the greatest beauty when my generation grew up watching movies, I would say Suriya. Suriya is an actress with beautiful black hair. The warrior in Adam’s rib. Wasn’t she a beautiful girl? Do you see such a heroine in any serial? The actor is still asking.
