The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
The media is already buzzing with guesses about the unnamed partner, but that misses the point. Parameswaran deliberately withheld the name to focus on the pattern of abuse, not gossip. The lazy narrative will be to reduce this to another celebrity breakup story. The real test is whether this sparks a genuine conversation about coercive control in intimate relationships, especially when the abuser appears charming in public. Will audiences look past the star names and ask why victims stay silent for years?
