<\/div>\nGoogle dedicated a doodle to PK Rosy, Malayalam cinema’s first lead female actor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Google dedicated a doodle to PK Rosy, Malayalam cinema’s first lead female actor, on her 120th birthday. A page dedicated to her on Google mentions that she was born on February 10, 1903, in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala.\u00a0<\/p>\n
PK Rosy’s real name was Rajamma. She broke barriers with her performance in the Malayalam movie Vigathakumaran (The Lost Child) during a time when performing arts were discouraged in many sectors of society, especially for women, according to Google.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The crowd was angry that a Dalit woman had portrayed the character of a Nair woman when the movie was shown at the Capitol Cinema in Thiruvananthapuram, as per IMDb.<\/p>\n
She is reported to have married Kesava Pillai, a truck driver, and moved to Tamil Nadu, where she used the name “Rajammal”.<\/p>\n

The P.K. Rosy Film Society is an endeavour from our side to establish a viewing space for cinema, which has often been an all-male space. Headed and run by an all ciswomen\/transwomen panel, we aim at showcasing, discussing, and celebrating women filmmakers, women film professionals, and feminist cinema aesthetics,” their statement said.<\/p>\n Click for more trending news<\/a><\/p>\nFeatured Video Of The Day<\/h3>\n
