Anupama Parameswaran and Dhruv Vikram have recently been making headlines after the actress openly spoke about the emotional toll of a past relationship. She revealed that her former partner's behaviour left her questioning aspects of herself that she had once embraced.
Anupama Parameswaran was ashamed of her periods
During a conversation with Dhyan Varma on his YouTube channel, the actor revealed how her relationship changed the way she viewed her achievements. "I was in a situation where I was ashamed that I was an actor. I was ashamed that I was confident. I was ashamed that I have my periods and I’m a woman," she said.

She further described how her concerns were allegedly dismissed and attributed to her menstrual cycle. "Because, first day of the cycle, fifth day of the cycle, tenth day of the cycle, fifteenth day of the cycle, twentieth day, twenty-fifth day, any day of the cycle. You confront this person for a mistake he has done, they will say, oh, you’re PMSing, your period is yet to come. So I was so ashamed. I was someone who dreamt of having 11 children. At this point, I don’t even want kids. I felt so bad for being a woman. I felt so bad for all my achievements."

Her alleged relationship with Dhruv Vikram
Anupama has been sharing details about what she has described as a controlling relationship since returning to social media in July. She has also claimed that the unnamed person gradually tried to alter her clothing choices as well as career decisions.
Speaking about how the relationship affected her work, Anupama shared that she did not promote Dragon because of the situation and recalled breaking down during the promotions of Paradha after allegedly being slut-shamed.
The actress further alleged that she was repeatedly pressured to get engaged and married. While she has not publicly identified her former partner, Anupama, netizens have linked her to Dhruv.
The actress was previously rumoured to be in a relationship with actor Dhruv Vikram, with whom she worked in Mari Selvaraj's Bison Kaalamaadan. Dating rumours began circulating in early 2025 after an unverified kissing photograph surfaced online and fans pointed to a shared Spotify playlist. The two also appeared together at award functions, but neither of them has publicly confirmed a relationship.
