P.K. Rosy was an Indian actress in the Malayalam cinema. She was born on 10th February 1903, and she is remembered as the first actress in Malayalam cinema starring in ‘Vigathakumaran’. Vigathakumaran was directed by JC Daniel.
PK Rosy was born as Rajamma in 1903 in Nandankode Trivandrum in a Palaya Family. Her father died when she was young leaving her family in the mouth of poverty. She was interested in arts and acting became a passion for her at a young age.
It was a time when women in cinema were not a typical or common thing to be seen. The mystery behind her name ‘Rosy’ is not confirmed yet people have their theories. Some people believe that she converted to Christianity and changed her name from Rajamma to Rosamma, and some people believe that the Director she worked with, JC Daniel gave her the name to give her a glamorous personality.
In 1928, PK Rosy became skilled in Kakkirasi, and then she stepped into JC Daniel’s film after his prospective heroine proved unsuited for the role. She played the character of Sarojini, a Nair woman in the film. After the release of the film, there were lots of protests against the film, as the Nair community was not impressed to see Dalit women portraying a Nair.
