Serial Star on Unwilling Climax: "Trolled to Death"

Gayathri Arun, who played the lead role of Deepthi IPS in the long-running Malayalam television serial 'Parasparam,' has finally addressed the controversial climax that concluded the show. The scene depicted Deepthi and her on-screen husband Sooraj consuming a capsule bomb and sacrificing their lives, a sequence that garnered significant criticism and trolling.

In a recent interview, Arun disclosed that she filmed the climax scene under duress, along with her co-actors. She expressed that the cast had reservations about the ending and that she had anticipated the extensive trolling, humorously remarking that the characters would face more heat from online trolls than from the fictional bomb.

Arun emphasized that actors do not hold creative control over serials, with a large team responsible for the storyline and direction. Despite this, she noted that audience reactions are often directed at the actors, who are the visible faces of the production. 'Parasparam' was celebrated for its compelling narrative and the chemistry between its leads, but its drastic conclusion remained a point of contention for viewers.

Following 'Parasparam,' Gayathri Arun took a hiatus from television serials, exploring opportunities in films and television hosting. She recently made a return to the small screen, taking on a lead role in the serial 'Amme Mookambike.'
