PK Rosy 120th Birth Anniversary: Google made a doodle of the actress! People burnt the house after the release of the first film.
Today's Google Doodle: In art school, Rosie learned Kakkarashi folk dance, in which the story of Shiva-Parvati coming to earth was shown through dance and song.
Google has created today's doodle in honor of PK Rosie, who became the first female actress in Malayalam Cinema. On this day in 1903, Rosy was born as Rajamma in Thiruvananthapuram, formerly Trivandrum (the capital of Kerala). Rosie's passion for acting started at an early age.
In an era when the performing arts were discouraged in many sections of society, especially for women, Rosy broke barriers with her role in the Malayalam Film Vigathakumaran (The Lost Child). Even today his story serves as an inspiration for many people. He had to spend the rest of his life in obscurity. In such obscurity that even today there is only a blurred picture of him on Google. Neither a photoshoot nor a video, nothing.
- PK Rosy was the female lead in the 1928 silent Malayalam film Vigathakumaran (The Lost Child).
