Actress Anupama Parameswaran says her ex-boyfriend made her feel ashamed of having periods. She describes the experience as emotionally harmful and says it affected how she viewed her identity as a woman.
According to multiple reports, Parameswaran reflects on a controlling relationship she says left lasting scars, including regret about how it shaped her self-esteem. Times of India adds that she says the relationship influenced her thoughts about motherhood and played a role in career decisions. NDTV and India Today similarly focus on how the relationship changed her self-perception, particularly around menstruation, but do not detail the same career or motherhood elements.
Across the outlets, the central point is Parameswaran’s account of shame tied to menstruation and the broader personal impact she attributes to the relationship.
