Popular Malayalam actor Rima Kallingal recently spoke about confronting gender discrimination in the film industry in a TedX talk organised in Kerala.
Rima began her talk with a little anecdote about how her journey towards feminism began.
"I'm a feminist and my feminism started with a fish fry. So, once upon a time, my family was seated around the dining table with my grand-mom, dad, my brother and myself. My mom is serving food and never in her entire life has it occurred to her that she can actually sit down along with us and we can all serve our own food. But that story is for another day. And today, she does three fish fries and she makes sure that the oldest one at the table and the two men at the table get one each. The 12-year-old me sees this and weeps. I'm deeply hurt and I demand to know why I am not considered deserving of the fish fry," she said.
Adding that her mother was "flabbergasted" by her demand, Rima went on to say that the former had probably never got the coveted fish fry all her life and couldn't understand why her daughter had a problem.
"But then that’s how my journey of questions began," the actor said.
While her speech has been lauded by many on social media, there are others who are wondering what the correlation between fish and feminism is. They seem to believe that Rima should be given a fish fry or two to settle the issue. Over the past few hours, many have taken to social media, ridiculing and belittling Rima. The series of comments seem to have started after Mathrubhumi published an article on her TedX talk with a headline: "Aa varutha 3 meen kashnangalanenne feminist aakkiyathu" (It is those 3 fish fries that made me a feminist.)
