Dhruv Vikram has opened up about dealing with intense public scrutiny surrounding his personal life, offering a thoughtful response without naming anyone or directly addressing any specific relationship.
Speaking at the India Today Tamil Roundtable, the actor was asked how he has been handling the heightened attention he has faced in recent weeks. Dhruv admitted that the scrutiny has affected him at times but said he has learnt the importance of staying 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. Know who you are, know what you stand for, and protect fiercely everybody that you love and everything that matters to you, or has ever mattered to you before,” he said.
He went on to explain that knowing yourself can help you navigate the noise surrounding you.
“When you are aligned with the truth, and when you know what anchors you, scrutiny can only go so far,” Dhruv said.
The actor also described learning to become “an army of one”, focusing on his own world and doing the inner work rather than allowing outside opinions to define him.
“You have your own world; you do the inner work. You protect your bubble as much as you can,” he added.
Dhruv also spoke about his relationship with social media, revealing that he generally prefers to stay away from it. While he enjoys creating edits and shooting videos of his father, niece and pets, he said he often creates content without necessarily posting it.
According to the actor, social media has become such a major part of everyday life that he prefers to spend much of his own time reading or listening to music when he is not promoting a film.
His limited presence online, he clarified, is not necessarily a conscious decision. Dhruv's comments come amid renewed online speculation following actress Anupama Parameswaran's recent discussion about a past relationship.
In the interview, Anupama spoke about experiencing what she described as narcissistic abuse during a two-year relationship, saying her former partner's behaviour would change from one day to another and that a repeated cycle of toxicity affected her.
Although the actress did not name the person involved, social media users began speculating about his identity, with some linking the comments to Dhruv Vikram. The two have previously been the subject of relationship rumours, but neither Dhruv nor Anupama has publicly confirmed or denied those reports. Dhruv's latest comments, therefore, have attracted attention online.
However, the actor himself did not mention Anupama, their alleged relationship or the recent speculation during the roundtable. Instead, his message appeared to centre on something broader, knowing who you are, protecting the people you love and refusing to let outside noise take control of your inner world.
In an age where every comment can quickly become a headline and every silence can invite speculation; Dhruv's approach seems simple:
Stay grounded. Know your truth. And protect your peace.
