Ashwathy Kurup (born 7 April 1970[1]), better known by her stage name Parvathy, is an Indian former actress, costume designer and classical dancer, who has appeared in Malayalam films.[2]

Parvathy was a popular actress in Malayalam cinema during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Her first film was directed by Lenin Rajendran, but was shelved and never released. She was introduced to the industry by actor-director Balachandra Menon through Vivahithare Ithile in 1986.[3] Her notable works include Oru Minnaminunginte Nurunguvettam (1987), Thoovanathumbikal (1987), Ponmuttayidunna Tharavu (1988), Aparan (1988), Vadakkunokkiyantram (1989), 1921 (1988), Kireedam (1989), Peruvannapurathe Visheshangal (1989), Artham (1989), Utharam (1989), Jagratha (1989), Dr. Pasupathy (1990), Akkare Akkare Akkare (1990) Souhrudam (1991) and Kamaladalam (1992).

Parvathy married film actor Jayaram who was her co-star in many films on 7 September 1992 at Town Hall, Ernakulam. After marriage, Parvathy effectively quit acting in films by her own will.[4][5] She now lives with her family in Chennai. The couple have two children, Kalidas Jayaram and Malavika Jayaram.[6]

Personal life[edit | edit source]

Ashwathy Kurup was born as second among three children to Ramachandra Kurup and Padma Bai in Thiruvalla, in an affluent Nair sub-caste of landlords.[7] Her father is from Champakulam, Alappuzha and her mother from Kaviyoor, Thiruvalla.[citation needed] She has an elder sister Jyothi and a younger sister Deepthi (deceased).[8] Shobhana Chandrakumar Pillai is her cousin. She had her primary education at Devaswom Board Higher Secondary School, Thiruvalla. Her mother was a maths teacher at the same school she studied at.[9] She pursued a Pre-degree from NSS Hindu College, Changanassery. This was where she was discovered by director Lenin Rajendran, who cast her as the lead in a film that was shelved and was never released. She then acted in her first movie Vivahitare Itihile (1986), directed by Balachandra Menon at the age of 16.[citation needed]

Parvathy met her future husband Jayaram on the set of Aparan, at Udaya Studio in Alappuzha, in 1988. After her marriage on 7 September 1992, Parvathy stopped acting and later said that she has no regrets. "One spouse has to sacrifice their career, otherwise, it will be difficult to bring up the children properly. If there is a good salary earned by the husband, why should the wife work?"[10][11]

The couple have two children, Kalidas Jayaram (born 1993) and Malavika (born 1996).[12][13] Kalidas Jayaram won the National Film Award for Best Child Artist for his work in the film Ente Veedu Appuvinteyum (2003), in which he acted in along with his father, Jayaram.[10] Currently, she resides in Valasaravakkam, Tamil Nadu with her family.[citation needed]
