Indian actor Anupama Parameswaran, widely recognised for her breakout role in the hit film Premam, has publicly spoken out about surviving a turbulent past relationship, revealing that she endured two years of what she described as “narcissistic abuse”. The candid disclosure follows months of online speculation surrounding her personal life and alleged breakup with actor Dhruv Vikram.

In a detailed interview, Parameswaran shared the emotional and physical toll the relationship took on her over a two-year period. While she refrained from explicitly naming her former partner, she described experiencing a severe cycle of psychological manipulation, behavioural shifts, and control. The actress noted that the relationship significantly affected her well-being and career decisions.
She explained that controlling dynamics led her to decline multiple film offers and miss key promotional events for major projects. Parameswaran clarified that her recent social media posts regarding personal freedom and healing were made only after she had processed the experience. She stated that her decision to speak out was aimed at helping others recognise unhealthy relationship patterns and prioritise their personal safety and mental health.
Anupama Parameswaran – Dhruv Vikram Relationship Timeline
Although Parameswaran kept her ex-partner’s identity anonymous, media attention has consistently focused on her timeline with co-star Dhruv Vikram due to their public history. Reports of a relationship between Parameswaran and Dhruv Vikram first surfaced in early 2025 while the two were filming director Mari Selvaraj’s sports drama Bison Kaalamaadan.
Rumours intensified over the following months after shared public appearances, industry events, and social media interactions fueled media reports. The reported closeness between the two actors spanned roughly a year during filming and subsequent public events.
Speculation regarding a breakup peaked in mid-2026 after Parameswaran shared messages regarding boundaries, self-worth, and moving forward independently. Changes in social media activity further signalled an end to their reported association.
Neither party formally confirmed a romantic relationship during its duration. Parameswaran has since focused on her upcoming film releases and personal well-being, emphasising her commitment to moving forward independently.
