What was her name before?
Wasn't it Parvathy Menon??
Eight years after she got saddled with a caste surname that “was never hers”, actor Parvathy has announced that she does not want people calling her by names that journalists made up for her. And she does it in style.
In a Facebook post on Wednesday night, Parvathy, went about setting the record straight on her name, starting with her name on official records and how some bungling journalists added the “Menon” because they did not bother to ask her for it. Later, she says, the mistake was perpetuated until it became a fact.
She said that the whole affair started in 2007, just after the release of her first Kannada movie, when a reporter of a local newspaper interviewed her.
“He did not deem it important to cross check with me whether or not I have surname and, since I am a 'malayalikutty', took the liberty to baptise me with Menon.”
