Indian actress Anupama Parameswaran has spoken publicly about enduring what she describes as "narcissistic abuse" during a two-year relationship, according to multiple Indian media outlets. The comments follow a breakup post that hinted at actor Dhruv Vikram, as reported by The Indian Express.
In her statement, Parameswaran compared the experience to living with an "Anniyan," a reference to the 2005 Tamil film about a man with multiple personalities, The Times of India reports. She said the period was emotionally damaging and that she is now finally in a phase of healing, according to Telegraph India.
The actress did not name her former partner directly, but her social media activity has led to widespread speculation linking the remarks to Dhruv Vikram, son of actor Chiyaan Vikram. The Indian Express noted that her breakup post hinted at the actor, though no formal confirmation has been made by either party.
Rediff and Deccan Chronicle also covered the story, with both outlets focusing on the actress's description of the relationship as toxic and controlling. Parameswaran's account highlights a pattern of emotional manipulation that she says took a toll on her wellbeing over the course of two years.
The actress's decision to speak out adds her voice to a growing number of public figures discussing psychological abuse in relationships. Her remarks have generated significant attention across Indian entertainment media, with many fans expressing support for her openness.
As the story develops, observers will be watching to see whether Parameswaran provides further details about her experience or whether Dhruv Vikram responds publicly to the speculation. For now, the actress has made clear that her focus is on recovery and moving forward.
