Cinema VinesIndian film actress Anupama Parameswaran has opened up about a two‑year relationship that she describes as controlling and narcissistic. Speaking on Dhanya Varma’s YouTube channel, the 27‑year‑old revealed that her former boyfriend had proposed engagement only three months into their romance, a pace she found alarming. She said, “By the time they start controlling you, they would get attached to you to an extent where, after the first couple of dates, you’re taken to their house. You’re meeting their family, having lunch with them. And in three months, the person is talking about engagement.”
Parameswaran explained that she postponed the engagement because she sensed the marriage would end in divorce. She told the audience that she had been told she was a “gold digger,” but clarified that she was the one who stopped the engagement. “I would have gotten married to that person, and probably that would’ve ended up in a divorce if I didn’t stop the engagement call,” she said. She added that she felt the relationship was driven by desperation rather than love, and that it threatened to halt her acting career.
In a candid interview, the actress mentioned that she had considered freezing her eggs if the couple wanted children, indicating a practical approach to the future. She also said that the constant worry she felt in the relationship made her realize that it was not the right path for her. The revelations came after she had been silent on social media for a few months, during which rumors circulated that she was dating actor Dhruv Vikram.
Rumors of a romance with Vikram intensified in early 2025 when fans uncovered an unverified photo of the pair kissing, which they claimed was the display picture for their shared Spotify playlist. The couple had previously shared a screen in the film “Bison Kaalamaadan” and were seen together at award shows in Chennai and Mumbai, fueling speculation. However, Parameswaran has since clarified that she is not dating Vikram and that her recent social media posts are focused on her recovery from a toxic relationship.
Parameswaran’s decision to speak openly about her experience reflects a growing trend among Indian actors to discuss mental health and relationship abuse publicly. By sharing her story, she hopes to encourage others to listen to their instincts and prioritize their well‑being over external pressures.
