Vincy
Aloshious
Opens
Up
About
Challenges
In
The
Malayalam
Film
Industry:
Actress
Vincy
Aloshious
recently
shared
her
experiences
and
concerns
regarding
the
challenges
she
has
faced
in
the
Malayalam
film
industry.
While
she
has
not
personally
encountered
the
so-called
“power
group” that
is
said
to
influence
the
industry,
she
expressed
her
frustration
with
the
dominance
exerted
by
certain
individuals.
Speaking
candidly
to
the
media,
Vincy
highlighted
the
difficulties
that
arise
from
working
without
formal
contracts
and
the
impact
of
egos
on
her
career.

“I
am
hearing
things
I
never
expected.
Like
everyone
else,
I
am
waiting
to
know
the
truth.
I
haven’t
faced
any
sexual
harassment.
But
when
someone
makes
such
claims,
it’s
crucial
to
look
into
them,”
Vincy
said.

Vincy
explained
the
common
practice
in
the
industry
where
actors
and
crew
members
often
start
working
on
a
film
without
a
signed
contract.
Although
a
salary
is
usually
agreed
upon
before
filming
begins,
the
promised
advance
payment
is
frequently
delayed
until
after
production
has
started.
“When
we
ask
why
the
agreed
amount
isn’t
being
paid,
we
are
told
that
it’s
this
particular
director’s
film,
everyone
needs
to
cooperate
financially,
and
that
people
come
to
work
on
this
director’s
film
solely
out
of
desire,”
Vincy
said.
She
noted
that
such
explanations
often
leave
her
and
others
feeling
uneasy,
raising
doubts
about
whether
it
is
right
or
wrong
to
question
these
practices.

As
a
relatively
new
entrant
to
the
industry,
Vincy
admitted
that
she
was
initially
unaware
of
the
extent
of
the
issues.
“This
is
how
they
teach
us,”
she
said,
referring
to
the
industry’s
norms.
However,
after
the
Hema
Committee
report
was
released,
shedding
light
on
widespread
misconduct
within
the
Malayalam
film
industry,
Vincy
realized
that
she,
too,
had
been
subjected
to
unfair
treatment.

Aloshious
Speaks
Out
On
Industry
Challenges

While
Vincy
has
not
personally
faced
sexual
harassment,
she
emphasized
the
importance
of
taking
allegations
seriously
and
investigating
them
thoroughly.
Her
comments
come
in
the
wake
of
the
Hema
Committee
report,
which
has
led
to
numerous
industry
figures
sharing
their
own
distressing
experiences,
highlighting
a
broader
pattern
of
misconduct.

Vincy
also
touched
on
the
issue
of
losing
film
opportunities
due
to
the
egos
of
certain
individuals.
She
recalled
an
incident
where
she
questioned
the
injustice
she
faced,
only
to
be
told
that
she
was
too
inexperienced
to
understand
the
workings
of
the
industry.
“Vincy
has
only
been
in
the
industry
for
five
years.
You
don’t
know
what
cinema
is.
You
still
have
a
lot
to
learn,”
she
was
told.
Despite
such
dismissive
remarks,
Vincy
now
feels
more
confident
in
standing
up
for
herself
and
questioning
unfair
practices.

The
actress
expressed
her
determination
to
overcome
these
challenges,
despite
the
difficulties
she
faces.
“I’m
not
part
of
any
organization;
let
everything
come
out,”
she
said,
signaling
her
willingness
to
speak
out.
Vincy
acknowledged
that
asking
for
her
rights
often
hurts
the
egos
of
others,
leading
to
the
spread
of
negative
stories
about
her,
which,
in
turn,
results
in
lost
film
opportunities.
Nevertheless,
she
remains
resolute.
“Parvathy
Thiruvothu
and
others
are
great
inspirations.
Even
if
I
lose
more
films,
life
still
remains.
I
will
live
it
with
dignity,”
Vincy
Aloshious
said.

“Without
knowing
the
truth,
we
can’t
say
that
Mukesh
and
Siddique
are
wrong.
And
when
victims
speak
out,
we
can’t
dismiss
their
claims
as
false
either.
Let
the
truth
come
out,
and
whoever
is
at
fault
should
be
held
accountable.
The
impurities
need
to
be
identified
and
removed,”
she
concluded.

Vincy
Aloshious’s
revelations
shed
light
on
the
darker
aspects
of
the
Malayalam
film
industry,
sparking
discussions
about
the
need
for
better
treatment
of
actors
and
more
ethical
industry
practices.
As
the
conversation
continues,
it
remains
to
be
seen
how
the
industry
will
respond
to
these
serious
concerns.
