Anupama Parameswaran explains the cycle she experienced
Rather than describe the relationship in conventional terms, Anupama used three characters from the 2005 Tamil film Anniyan to illustrate what she described as a repeated cycle of affection, cruelty and remorse.
“Many people are not aware of narcissistic abuse. One day he will be Remo. We will be showered with love and care and will possibly feel like the luckiest person alive. However, the next day he will be Anniyan. It will be the most brutal side, and he will not care a hoot about what is happening around him. The same person will play Ambi the next day, apologising to me for his mistakes and crying like a baby. He will promise to never repeat the mistakes, but then again the love cycle continues.”
The experience, she said, left her feeling diminished rather than transformed by the relationship, marked by significant weight loss and a constant, unsettling uncertainty about which version of her partner she might encounter on any given day.
What has Anupama said about Dhruv Vikram?
Anupama's comments have inevitably drawn renewed attention to speculation surrounding her relationship with Dhruv Vikram.
Dating rumours involving the two actors surfaced in 2025 while they were working on Bison Kaalamaadan, Mari Selvaraj's sports drama. The speculation intensified after an unverified photograph that appeared to show the pair kissing circulated online.
Neither actor publicly confirmed the relationship, however, and neither has confirmed that they broke up.
Anupama began her film career with the 2015 Malayalam hit Premam, playing Mary George. She subsequently worked across Malayalam, Telugu, Tamil and Kannada cinema, appearing in films including A Aa, Kodi, Shatamanam Bhavati, Karthikeya 2 and Tillu Square.
Her more recent credits include Dragon and Paradha, with Crazy Kalyanam, Bhogi and Mareechika among her upcoming projects.
Dhruv Vikram, meanwhile, has continued his own film career, including his work in Bison Kaalamaadan.
Despite the speculation surrounding their personal lives, neither Anupama nor Dhruv has publicly confirmed or denied that they were in a relationship.
