New Miss India is keen on B'wood
"The preparations started ever since I won the contest. Apart from just concentrating on my appearance, I am also trying to be a stronger person to face the contest."
Asked about her views on women, she said, "I am a student of English literature and I think feminism has enlightened me. There have been certain cases when women have been refused their rights. The security of women is another very important issue in our country. I want to voice my opinion against female foeticide and crime against women.
"Women can't run the world alone. You need both - men and women - but I strongly feel for women and am a liberal feminist," Parvathy said.
"I am sure if the government doesn't do something it is not far when women would come out and work for their community."
"Education not only makes one knowledgeable but also makes one think, act and feel independently. It is imperative for everyone, especially for girls, to be educated," said Parvathy. She worked with Akbar Travels Online.com after completing graduation.
"Everyone wants to earn quick fame and money today. But one must always remember that there is only one Sachin (Tendulkar) and Dhirubhai (Ambani) who worked wonders despite less educational qualifications," said Parvathy, soaking in her new found success.
