Anupama Parameswaran Opens Up About Narcissistic Abuse

Popular actress Anupama Parameswaran has revealed several shocking details about a difficult phase in her past. She said that she was in a relationship with a man for nearly two years and suffered “narcissistic abuse,” which left her facing severe physical and emotional distress. Although she shared these revelations in an interview with a popular YouTube channel, she chose not to disclose the identity of the person.“He entered my life in the name of love and tried to keep me completely under his control. He imposed restrictions on the clothes I wore, what I posted on social media and even the films I chose. He also pressured me to quit acting. Just three months after we met, he insisted that we get engaged and married. Since it felt more like an attempt to control me than love, I kept postponing it,” she explained.

Anupama said that the relationship pushed her into severe depression and anxiety, eventually affecting her physically and causing her to lose weight. “I would go into my caravan on shooting sets and cry alone. I frequently suffered panic attacks. At one point, I was even afraid to touch my own younger brother. I could not attend the promotions of ‘Dragon,’ the biggest success of my career, because of the emotional trauma I was going through,” she recalled.

Anupama’s comments have now sparked widespread discussion on social media. In the past, there were reports that she was romantically involved with actor Dhruv Vikram, son of actor Vikram. Against this backdrop, some netizens and sections of the media have speculated that he could be the person she was referring to. However, Anupama has not identified the individual, and there is no confirmation that the person she described was Dhruv Vikram.She clarified that she has finally recovered from the emotional trauma after a long period and chose to speak about her experience to serve as a warning and source of strength for those who may be trapped in similarly toxic relationships.
