Anupama claimed that things would get so ‘brutal’ that the person wouldn’t even react if she were ‘stabbed to death’. However, soon after that, the person would come back to her ‘apologising, begging, and pleading’, all while promising to change and ‘lovebombing’ her while crying like a baby. The actor stated that the ex’s personality would waver between these extremes. Anupama stated that the transition into the relationship becoming controlling was ‘slow and silent’. I stayed in their family, and that person has stayed in mine. It’s all serious; you’re mentally fixed on the idea that this is the person you spend your life with. That’s when the control becomes more direct. Why did I not promote a movie like Dragon? That was one of the most successful films in my career. You will have to let go of so many projects you do,” she claimed. The actor also stated that she soon found her ex-boyfriend controlling how she dresses, too. The situation soon unravelled to the point that Anupama was sending pictures of her outfits for approval before going out and seeking permission before posting anything on Instagram. In July, Anupama returned to social media after February with a photo dump. A portion of her caption read: “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. She also wrote, “No more permissions. No more fear. This only intensified as an unverified picture of them kissing began circulating, with fans claiming to have found it as the display picture for their shared Spotify playlist. When he posted a cosy selfie with her from another award show in Mumbai, she re-shared it with a heart. Recently, she opened up in detail about what went on in the relationship on Dhanya Varma’s YouTube channel. “For the people who call me a gold digger and all these names, I want to make one thing clear. I would have gotten married to that person, and probably that would’ve ended up in a divorce if I didn’t stop the engagement call. We need to take a little more time. She has been vocal with her captions about being in a controlling relationship and healing from it. The actor last posted in February; before that, they were absent from social media for a while.
In early 2025, rumours surfaced that Dhruv and Anupama were dating while they were shooting for Mari Selvaraj’s Bison Kaalamaadan. At a Chennai awards show this year, Anupama blushed as Dhruv wished her a happy birthday on stage, and she called him her 2 AM call. In early 2025, Anupama and Dhruv Vikram sparked rumours that they were dating when fans unearthed an unverified picture of them kissing, which they claimed was the display picture for their shared Spotify playlist.
Because she could never predict their reaction, so much so that Anupama had to rehearse what to say. Because families are talking, “By that time, you’re deeply in love,. Because he praised her for being ‘controlled and classy’, she went from wearing jeans and a top to dressing more conservatively, becoming silent. Because she felt their marriage would end in divorce, the actor revealed that she had a chance to be engaged to her ‘narcissistic’ ex-boyfriend, but postponed it due to a ‘gut’ feeling.
