Anupama Parameswaran Reveals Panic Attacks, Weight Loss During Toxic Relationship

Actor Anupama Parameswaran has spoken about the emotional and physical toll of a past relationship, describing it as a deeply draining period in her life. In the latest part of her conversation with interviewer Dhanya Varma, the actor discussed how her relationship with an unnamed person affected her mental and physical well-being. Anupama described the relationship as involving what she termed “narcissistic abuse” and said she experienced prolonged emotional distress during that period. She recalled crying frequently and experiencing panic attacks, while also losing weight as the relationship began affecting her overall health.

The actor did not identify the person she was referring to. However, her comments have led to speculation on social media, with some users linking her account to actor Dhruv Vikram, her co-star in Bison Kaalamaadan. Anupama herself has not named him in the conversation, meaning the speculation remains unsubstantiated. Speaking about the experience, Anupama indicated that the relationship had become increasingly difficult to manage. She described feeling emotionally overwhelmed and said the situation left lasting wounds. Her account focused on her personal experience rather than identifying or making specific allegations against the person involved.

Anupama also spoke about the steps she eventually had to take to distance herself from the situation. She said she reached a point where she had to be firm about protecting herself, including making a threat to ensure that the person understood she would no longer accept the behaviour. Her remarks suggested that ending or moving away from the relationship was a difficult process. The actor's discussion has drawn attention because she spoke candidly about the impact that an unhealthy relationship can have beyond emotional distress. Persistent stress can affect sleep, appetite, physical health and day-to-day functioning, although individual experiences vary. Anupama's account described a period in which those effects became particularly pronounced for her.

She also reflected on how difficult it can be for someone experiencing manipulation or emotional abuse to recognise the situation and take action. Her comments suggest that the experience changed her understanding of personal boundaries and the importance of prioritising one's own well-being. Anupama's disclosure comes as conversations around emotional abuse and unhealthy relationships continue to gain visibility, including among public figures who choose to discuss their personal experiences. By speaking about her own experience without identifying the person involved, she has kept the focus largely on the impact the relationship had on her.

The actor has continued her professional work while gradually opening up about different aspects of her personal journey. Her latest comments provide a rare glimpse into a difficult chapter of her life, particularly the emotional and physical consequences she says followed during that relationship. While social media users continue to speculate about the identity of the person Anupama was referring to, there is no confirmation from the actor that the individual is Dhruv Vikram. Her comments should therefore be understood in the context in which she made them—as an account of her own experience without naming the person involved.
