Actor Anupama Parameswaran has spoken publicly about what she describes as two years of emotional and physical distress during a past relationship, saying the experience changed the way she saw herself and forced her to spend considerable time rebuilding her life.
Speaking to Dhanya Varma on I AM with Dhanya Varma, Anupama said the story behind a recent social-media post was far more personal than many people realised. She said she did not want to make a public statement until she felt she had genuinely begun to heal.
“There are two years of pain, physical and emotional destruction, behind that one post,” she said, according to the interview coverage.
Her comments came after a July Instagram post in which she wrote about letting go of “dead ends” to find peace. She also wrote about choosing her own voice and life, prompting widespread speculation that the posts were connected to the end of her reported relationship with actor Dhruv Vikram. Neither actor had publicly confirmed their relationship, and Anupama has not identified the former partner she discussed in the interview.
Anupama describes a cycle of changing behaviour
Rather than identifying the person involved, Anupama focused on the pattern she said she experienced.
She used characters from the Tamil film Anniyan to explain what she described as dramatic shifts in her former partner’s behaviour. At one point, she said, the relationship could feel intensely affectionate; at another, it could become deeply distressing, followed by apologies and promises that the behaviour would not happen again.
She said the cycle affected her sense of self. According to her account, instead of growing during the relationship, she felt she was becoming smaller, losing significant weight and living with persistent fear about what might happen next.
Anupama also said that many people may experience such behaviour without immediately recognising it. That, she suggested, was the group she most wanted to reach through her decision to speak publicly.
Her comments should be understood as a personal account of a relationship, rather than an independent clinical assessment of the other person. Narcissistic personality disorder itself is a diagnosable mental-health condition requiring professional evaluation; behaviour that someone describes as “narcissistic” does not by itself establish such a diagnosis.
Why the breakup speculation became part of the story
Interest in Anupama’s personal life had already intensified after her return to Instagram in July. Her posts referred to freedom, fear, personal choices and finding her way back to herself. Those messages were widely interpreted online as hints about a possible separation from Dhruv Vikram, with whom she had been linked in media reports.
The speculation is relevant to the timeline, but it does not establish that Dhruv was the person Anupama referred to in her interview. That distinction matters because neither actor has publicly confirmed the relationship or connected Dhruv to the allegations she described.
The actress has instead kept the focus on her own experience and recovery.
A wider conversation about recognising unhealthy relationships
The significance of Anupama’s interview extends beyond celebrity relationship speculation. Her account touches on a broader difficulty in identifying controlling or emotionally harmful relationship dynamics: they may not always appear clearly abusive at the beginning.
She described people around such situations as falling into different groups — those who understand the problem because they have experienced it, those unfamiliar with it, people who dismiss the conversation, and people who may be experiencing similar behaviour without recognising it.
That last group, she said, concerns her most.
Her decision to discuss the experience publicly also illustrates why terminology matters. “Narcissistic abuse” is widely used in discussions of unhealthy relationships, but it should not be treated as proof that an alleged abuser has narcissistic personality disorder. Clinical diagnosis requires assessment by a qualified mental-health professional.
For now, the clearest part of Anupama’s account is not who the former partner was, but what she says the relationship did to her. She says she waited until she was ready to speak, and that her priority now is reclaiming a sense of independence and peace.
What remains unclear
Anupama has not publicly named the former partner discussed in the interview, and there has been no verified public response from that person to the allegations described by her.
The Dhruv Vikram connection therefore remains a matter of media and social-media speculation rather than an established fact. The most significant development is Anupama’s own decision to describe her experience and draw attention to relationship dynamics that, in her view, can remain difficult to recognise while someone is living through them.Actor Anupama Parameswaran has spoken publicly about what she describes as two years of emotional and physical distress during a past relationship, saying the experience changed the way she saw herself and forced her to spend considerable time rebuilding her life.
