Anupama Parameswaran Reveals Narcissistic Abuse, Explains Dragon Promotion Absence
A famous actress named Anupama Parameswaran told an interviewer about a sad time in her life.
She said that for two years, the person she was dating was unkind to her in a way that is hard to see from the outside.
Grown-ups call this hurtful behaviour narcissistic abuse.
At first, the person gave her lots of love and attention, which is called love bombing.
But soon he started controlling her life, even choosing her clothes and talking about getting engaged very quickly.
He also wanted her to stop acting and not promote her movies.
Anupama realised this was not love but desperation, so she called off the engagement.
The relationship made her lose weight and feel very anxious.
She also explained that she did not promote her successful movie Dragon because of her partner.
She never said the person's name, but many people online think she meant Dhruv Vikram.
South Indian actress Anupama Parameswaran said she endured two years of 'narcissistic abuse' in a past relationship, without naming her former partner.
She described love bombing followed by rising control, with family meetings after early dates and engagement talk within three months.
She compared her ex-partner's shifting behaviour to the Remo, Anniyan and Ambi characters from Shankar's film Anniyan.
She said she called off the engagement after realising it was 'desperation,' not love, and that her partner wanted her to quit acting and stop promoting films.
Her remarks about not promoting Dragon sparked online speculation that she meant Dhruv Vikram, son of actor Vikram, which she never confirmed.

“"For the people,. they call you gold digger and all these names, for the people who have been calling me like that, there's one thing I want to make clear that I would have gotten married to that person and probably would have ended up in a divorce if I didn't stop the engagement call."”

“"By this time when they start this control, they would get so attached to an extent like- after the first couple of dates, you are meeting their family... and in 3 months the person is talking about engagement and the family is asking about where we can put the engagement."”
