Malayalam actress refuses to work with drug users

April 15, 2025

Malayalam actress Vincy Aloshious has announced that she would not act with any artist who consumes drugs. 

Speaking at a recent event, she said she would refuse roles in films if she knew any co-actor was involved in drug use. 

Aloshious said the decision stemmed from a troubling experience with a male actor during a previous film. 

She made the initial statement in this regard during a public programme linked to an anti-drug campaign. 

As her statement triggered a debate on social media, the award-winning actress later posted an explanation on her Instagram handle recounting incidents that influenced her stance. 

Without naming the actor, Aloshious said after consuming drugs he had behaved in a "very uncomfortable" manner towards her and her female colleague on a film set. 

Citing an example of his behaviour, she said when she had a problem with her dress in the film, he publically offered to come with her to fix it. -- PTI
