Who was PK Rosy?

The Malayalam actress had to overcome several obstacles in her time. Apart from being a woman in the industry, she faced stiff resistance as she belonged to the community of Dalit Christians. Her parents were daily wagers and Rosy herself engaged in jobs such as grass cutting for a livelihood, Kunal Ray, a cultural critic, associated with LAME University, Pune wrote in his review of ‘The Lost Heroine’ by author Vinu Abraham based on the actress.

Rosy was also a prolific actor in Kakkarissi plays, a kind of folk theatre in Kerala which blends both Tamil and Malayalam.

Her debut film was Vigathakumaran (The Lost Child, 1928) in which she played the role of an upper caste Nair girl, Sarojini. She received much flak after the film’s release and stones were hurled at her in the inaugural screening.
