Last week one of the most famous actors of Malayalam, Thilakan passed away. He is counted one among the best 5 actors, Malayalam industry has seen till now. He is most remembered for his role in the movie 'Perunthachan'. This is the wikipedia link for you to know about Perunthachan

Still now, Perunthachan, the son of Vararuchi is considered as the most skilled carpenter of Kerala. But due to jealously, he dropped his chisel on his son Kannan in the guise of an accident, killing him on the spot.
Is it possible? Can parents feel jealousy towards their kids?

Sounds crazy yet can be true in some cases. In some cases it can be attributed to the parents not having lived their lives enjoyably before they were married. Or as Kalyani said when the child is much more talented. One can come across comparisons between the child and parent in such cases which can lead to jealousy in parents but its rare that such an extreme step is taken by a parent.
True Asha! We find it actually hard to believe something like this! But I remember reading a few years ago about the case Monisha Koirala is supposed to have put up against her own parents, I am not really sure it was Koirala, accusing them of exploiting her for money. In any case, this is not new to Hollywood celebrities, Britney Spears and many others have had similar ugly issues with parents! What drives such parents to do that? Jealousy indeed might be the answer.
It's Amesha Patel :)

I heard that even Mallika Sherawat said her parents don't want to keep her as their family because they were jealous of her but in her case it can be understood that her claims might have been false. The biggest factor as you said is mostly the success of the children that causes resentment in the minds of the parents. But I think these are still rare cases thankfully in India at least.
Yes at least in India there are not many known cases, thankfully, because we still believe in the sanctity in the parent-child relationship.

Yes, it was Ameesha Patel, now I remember! Thanks Sandhya!
Yes they feel jealousy towards kids when their kids are grown and settled with good fame and money.
Children should not ignore or insult their parents even by mistake. They should always make their elders realise that he is great because of them, because of their blessings. This way jealousy can be avoided. However, I have never heard this in my life as yet.
Any one spouse, parent, sibling may get jealous. This happens when son or daughter is grown up and is in same job.
Such a competition is well shown in the movie Abhimaan. Both are singers. When Jaya becomes more popular than him, Amit feel jealously towards her resulting in a break up
Its depends upon nature of parent if parent not able to love his child than this thing may happen.
Sometimes a little room for jealousy can overcome the love in the hearts of the parents but not for always. It can me momentarily and may not be for a longer duration in most of the cases.
I don't think parents feel jealous towards kids rather they always pray for the success of their kids.My parents always pray for me those who feel jealous of their kids are not to be called their parents. :)
Yet, I have seen a few parents, who said, "I know it earlier itself that you will come under my feet someday" :evil: :evil: . It may be jealous or something else. But the truth is that, that parent is feeling happy inside his mind that his kid failed :(

But those are not the ideal parents, parents always feel more happy when their kids get success what they could not acheived themselves in their life. :blink:

it was a common topic of our old Bollywood movies......crashes of father of old principles and son with new ideas..... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Now, such movies have become rare to see
Hmm, Kalyani, Usha ,Sandhya and Asha,
I guess more than a parent-child jealousy, i see that there is jealousy among spouses who works in the same field
that results in abuses and stuff!!!
hmm!
Hi Swetha, yes I have seen jealousy among spouses, especially those who are in same type of professions, but it does exist between parents and children too. Actually jealousy is a natural human feeling and is there in everyone, but depending upon circumstances, maturity etc. etc. it may or may not rear its ugly head to become prominent!

That is not jealousy though this happens with everyone this is what a generation gap and people always have a difference of opinions with their parents and kids and that is normal. :blink:
