She is originally from Changanacherry - Kottayam, Kerala and now lives in Mumbai, Her hobbies include: Listening to music, dancing, glass painting, reading, playing basketball and badminton.

She follows the lineage set by many Malayalis in the history of the pageant like Shweta Vijay (Femina Miss India Earth 2003), Annie Thomas (Femina Miss India Universe 1998), Nafisa Joseph (Femina Miss India Universe 1997), Mini Menon (Femina Miss India Asia Pacific 1996) and Shweta Menon (Femina Miss India 1994 2nd Runner Up).
The question posed to the finalists is “The rate of divorce in India is on a rise. What is the cause? Is western influence the cause or something else?”
Parvathy replied that Divorces are not a result of western influence. At the end of the day, it is we who decide whose worth us. Marriage is not when one completes the other but is when both share their completeness.
Parvathy impressed the audience with her beauty and brains and was one of the five finalists out of the 109 contestants at the Sandton Convention Center in Johannesburg in South Africa. But, she was finally beaten by Miss Russia.

After a gap of eight years a Miss India has reached the top three.“I have performed better than others in the personality and question-answer round. This is not just that. All those who watched it yesterday felt like that. I feel the jury’s decision was unfair”, Parvathy(21), who was adjudged the first runner up from among 108 contestants at the Miss World pageant in Johannesburg, told to reporters.

“I had confidence. I could do well. The question-round did not come as a challenge to me considering my background in literature,” said Parvathy.
