Anupama Parameswaran on why she ignores unhealthy criticism
The actor says criticism is useful only when it is healthy and she will not engage with deliberate negativity.
Anupama Parameswaran has weighed in on the tone of online film criticism. The actor said feedback matters only when it is healthy, and that she chooses not to respond to posts written purely to provoke.
She contrasted constructive discussion with the pile-on culture that often follows releases, arguing that the latter adds nothing to either the film or the performer. Her remarks come as Malayalam cinema’s online review ecosystem faces renewed scrutiny.
Anupama added that she prefers to focus on her work rather than reply to every negative comment. She is among the busier actors in Malayalam and Tamil cinema this year.
