Actress Anupama Parameswaran has said she endured nearly two years of narcissistic and emotional abuse in a relationship she has not named. In an interview with Dhanya Varma on YouTube, she described her former partner’s controlling behaviour, including demanding photos of her outfits and preventing her from promoting her film Dragon. She said marriage talks began within three months of dating, but she repeatedly postponed the engagement. Parameswaran compared her partner’s mood swings to the character Anniyan from the Vikram-starrer of the same name. She said she lost weight, suffered panic attacks and took anxiety medication during the relationship. She did not name the person she was involved with, though she has previously been linked to actor Dhruv Vikram.
