Parvathy Thiruvothu reacts to Hollywood actor Ryan Gosling’s statement, 'There is no Ken without Barbie'

Malayalam actor Parvathy has expressed her admiration for Hollywood star Ryan Gosling's empathetic response to the Oscar nominations, where he acknowledged the snub of 'Barbie' director Greta Gerwig and actor Margot Robbie.

Ryan Gosling, nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category, stated, "There is no Ken without Barbie." Parvathy took to her Instagram to share her thoughts, emphasizing the rarity of such supportive allies in the industry.

In her statement, Parvathy expressed a sense of ache, highlighting the disparities faced by women in the industry, regardless of talent and contribution. Her statement read, “This made me ache." Because there are no Ryan Goslings here. Here, no matter the talent, no matter the contribution, women who speak up and know their value will be avoided like plague. Replaced with 'less problematic' people. Problematic for them, because how else can they benefit from the inequality if challenged, eh?"
Ryan Gosling's original statement expressed disappointment over the lack of nominations for director Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie in their respective categories, recognizing their pivotal roles in the success of 'Barbie.'
Meanwhile, ‘Barbie’ hit the big screens on July 21 and was received with good reviews from the audiences. The movie also minted good numbers at the box office amidst Christopher Nolan’s ‘Oppenheimer’s release.
