Actor Dhruv Vikram has spoken publicly about the constant attention on his personal life. His comments come after his Bison Kaalamaadan co-star Anupama Parameswaran shared details about a past relationship that she described as toxic and controlling. While neither actor has confirmed being in a relationship, the timing of their statements has drawn widespread online attention.
Speaking at an India Today roundtable event, Dhruv was asked how he handles the public focus on his personal affairs. He admitted that the scrutiny does affect him, but he has found ways to stay grounded.
“If I’m being honest, I can’t say it has never affected me. That said, I think it’s important to anchor yourself in reality. Know who you are, know what you stand for, and protect fiercely everybody that you love and everything that matters to you.”
The actor, who is the son of noted Tamil star Vikram, explained that staying connected to the truth helps him deal with outside opinions. He added that when a person knows what matters to them, public scrutiny loses its power.
“When you are aligned with the truth, and when you know what anchors you, scrutiny can only go so far. Subconsciously, you learn to be an army of one. You have your own world; you do the inner work. You protect your bubble as much as you can.”
What Anupama Parameswaran Said About Her Past Relationship
Anupama Parameswaran recently appeared on the YouTube channel I AM With Dhanya Varma. During the conversation, she opened up about a two-year relationship that she said involved narcissistic abuse and controlling behaviour.
The actress shared that her former partner restricted her from promoting her film Dragon and controlled many aspects of her life. She also compared her ex-boyfriend’s shifting behaviour to the multiple-personality character from the film Anniyan, which starred Dhruv’s father Vikram.
Anupama did not name anyone during her interview. However, because she had been linked to Dhruv in the past, many people online assumed she was referring to him.
The actress also spoke about the emotional toll the relationship took on her. She revealed that she had lost significant weight during those two years and described a pattern of love-bombing followed by cruelty.
Old Interview Resurfaces Online
After Anupama’s recent comments, an old podcast interview from 2025 resurfaced online. In that interview, she appeared with Dhruv on Nikhil Vijayendra Simha’s podcast. During the conversation, Anupama mentioned that Dhruv selected all the pictures the film’s team posted on social media.
“You have to be very careful because Dhruv selects all pictures of what we all post.”
When the host reacted with surprise, Dhruv asked Anupama to stop giving the host material for clickbait content. Anupama then clarified that she meant Dhruv chooses which pictures look good for promotions, not that he controlled her personal posts.
Fans on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit have been discussing these clips. Some users pointed out Dhruv’s reaction during the podcast, while others expressed support for Anupama for sharing her experience.
Dhruv Vikram on His Social Media Presence
During the same roundtable event, Dhruv was also asked about his limited activity on Instagram. He joked that fans would “never know” if he has a private account.
The actor explained that he enjoys making video edits and shooting content featuring his father, his niece, and his pets. However, he does not always post them online.
“I love to make these edits and shoot things. I love to shoot my dad, my niece and my pets. I make a lot of edits, even though I don’t post them.”
Dhruv said that his social media habits are not a deliberate choice. He is more active during film promotions and prefers to spend his free time reading or listening to music.
“I feel like we’ve all had our field day out with social media, and that’s like the town centre of the entire world. When I have promotions, I’m more active. At other times, I dissolve into reading or music. It’s not a conscious decision.”
The Background of Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran’s Rumoured Relationship
Rumours about Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran dating first surfaced in early 2025. Fans noticed an unverified picture of them kissing and a shared Spotify playlist, which led to speculation.
The two actors worked together in Mari Selvaraj’s sports drama Bison Kaalamaadan, which released in 2025. The film became both a critical and commercial success.
Neither Dhruv nor Anupama ever publicly confirmed their relationship or announced a breakup.
After Anupama returned to Instagram following a break, she posted about experiencing control in a recent relationship. She wrote:
“Turns out, when you don’t have to wait for approvals, a song selection, or someone else’s caption… posting becomes a lot more fun.”
This post, combined with her interview comments, led many to believe she was speaking about her rumoured relationship with Dhruv.
How Dhruv Vikram Handles Public Attention
Dhruv acknowledged that being a public figure comes with scrutiny. He said that actors understand this early in their careers.
“When you sign up for this line of work, you understand very early that scrutiny can possibly be part of the territory. As beautiful as the job is, it comes with many different sides. You learn to embrace all of them.”
He emphasised that protecting his loved ones and staying true to himself helps him manage the pressure. Dhruv also mentioned that the support he receives from people close to him has been very important.
The actor did not directly respond to the speculation about his relationship with Anupama. He chose to speak in general terms about dealing with public attention rather than addressing any specific rumours.
