Anupama Parameswaran spoke about a relationship that she says harmed her mental and physical health.
She described panic attacks, shaking and blackouts.

She also lost a lot of weight.
During film shoots, her right eye would twitch so much that filming had to stop.
Anupama said she cried for hours every night.
She said a tear-producing gland in her eye became swollen and needed surgery.
She said the relationship also made her feel ashamed of being a woman, having periods and being successful.
She has not publicly named the former partner, and reports connecting the person to Dhruv Vikram have not been confirmed.
Anupama Parameswaran said a two-year relationship caused panic attacks, blackouts, vomiting, severe weight loss and other health problems.
She said anxiety made her hands and legs shake, while conversations with her former partner sometimes triggered vomiting after meals.
