# Anupama Parameswaran opens up on relationship trauma 2026-08-18T12:29:58+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 5 independent outlets (6 source reports) Telugu actor Anupama Parameswaran has revealed details of emotional abuse she says she faced from an unnamed ex-boyfriend over two years. In an interview on Dhyan Varma's YouTube channel, she said she was made to feel ashamed of being an actor, of her confidence, and of having periods. She said disagreements were dismissed by her ex-partner attributing them to her menstrual cycle, calling it PMSing. Anupama said she once dreamed of having 11 children but now does not want kids because of the experience. She had earlier spoken of 'narcissistic abuse' and said she broke down at a Paradha promotional event in August 2025 after being 's**t-shamed' before the press meet. Fans have speculated the person is Dhruv Vikram, with whom she co-starred in Bison Kaalamaadan, but she has not named anyone. Hindustan Times and Pinkvilla report the interview in detail. Telugu360 presents the claims as her account, noting they are not confirmed against any individual. Greatandhra also covers the allegations while noting the speculation about Dhruv Vikram remains unconfirmed. M9.news criticises her for repeatedly discussing the relationship, urging her to move on and let her work speak. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Pro-government stances are absent in this entertainment story. Hindustan Times and Pinkvilla lead with her emotional breakdown and quote her extensively, framing it as a candid revelation. Telugu360 and Greatandhra adopt a neutral-report stance, presenting her claims factually while cautioning they are not verified against any named person. M9.news takes a sensationalist, opinionated stance, criticising her for repeatedly discussing the relationship and urging silence, which downplays the abuse allegations. A careful reader should note that while her account is detailed and consistent, no named accused has responded, and the story remains one-sided. Watch for any response from Dhruv Vikram or a named party. ## Coverage Coverage: 6 sources, 4 neutral, 2 sensationalist - pinkvilla.com (sensationalist) Leads with crying at event due to ex-boyfriend, framing it as dramatic reveal. - hindustantimes.com (neutral report) Presents her account factually with quotes, avoids speculation on identity. - hindustantimes.com (2) (neutral report) Focuses on period-shaming allegations, reports her words without slant. - telugu360.com (neutral report) Calls them allegations, notes they are her account, not confirmed against anyone. - greatandhra.com (neutral report) Reports her claims, notes speculation about Dhruv is unconfirmed. - m9.news (sensationalist) Opinion piece criticising her for speaking out, urges silence and moving on.
