Bigg Boss 18's Vivian Dsena Is More Of A TV Person, Says ‘Films Are Not My Type'
While many TV stars chase film roles, Vivian Dsena shared he was not interested in the medium.
In an industry where many television stars dream of making the leap to the big screen, Vivian Dsena continues to stand apart. While conversations around the challenges faced by TV actors trying to break into films are common, Vivian isn't interested in fighting that battle — not because he doubts his potential, but simply because the medium doesn't appeal to him..
In a chat with Mid-Day, the actor opened up about his perspective on films, his love for television, and a fresh chapter that has fans buzzing. 'By God's grace, I have done four shows, and all of them have been hits," he told Mid-Day. 'I would like to continue doing that, whether on television or the web, but films are not really my type."
But while he's ruling out movies, the actor is definitely not stepping away from the limelight. In fact, he dropped some exciting news that's bound to thrill his loyal fanbase. 'I've come back, really come back to work. There are a lot of discussions and new projects in the pipeline, so hopefully, you'll see me in a series very soon," he shared.
As per reports, Vivian is all set to explore the world of digital entertainment. With web platforms opening up new storytelling possibilities, the actor confirmed he's currently in talks for several OTT ventures and will be returning to screens in a series shortly. It's a move that aligns perfectly with his comfort in performance-driven formats while allowing him to experiment with fresh narratives.
Adding to the celebration was another significant moment—Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, one of Vivian's most beloved shows, completed 13 years on May 28. Reflecting on that unforgettable journey and the massive fan support the show received, Vivian got nostalgic.
'During Madhubala, fans would come all the way to Film City just to meet me," he recalled. 'There were women who would say, 'Sir, my husband may not watch anything else, but he never misses your show.' These people came only for RK (Vivian's character), and I truly feel I was at the right place at the right time and I put in just the right amount of hard work to make it count."
Vivian Dsena made waves in the Gladrags Mr. India contest in 2007, which became a launchpad for his career on television. Over the years, he has built an enviable career. With memorable roles in Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Pyaar Ki Ek Kahaani, Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki and more, he's carved a niche few can rival.

Kishore Kumar once spoke about marrying Madhubala despite her heart condition: ‘I nursed her for nine years, watched her die before my own eyes'
In a candid 1985 interview, Kishore Kumar reflected on his four marriages, revealing the contrasting values with Ruma Devi and the heartbreak of caring for Madhubala during her illness. He admitted his third marriage to Yogeeta Bali was a mistake but found peace with Leena Chandavarkar, appreciating her understanding of life's fragility. Kishore Kumar was known for his unforgettable voice and unmatched talent, but behind the fame was a man who lived through love, heartbreak, and deep personal loss. In a rare interview from 1985, the legendary singer opened up like never before—talking about his four marriages, his emotional journey with Madhubala, and what truly mattered to him in life. His words, honest and moving, offer a glimpse into the man behind the music. A mismatch of values with Ruma Devi In conversation with Pritish Nandy, Kishore reflected on his first marriage to Ruma Devi, describing it as a mismatch of values. While he acknowledged her talent and ambition, he admitted they had very different expectations from life. Ruma was focused on building a career in music, while Kishore longed for a more traditional domestic partner. Their conflicting priorities ultimately led to their separation. A promise kept with Madhubala The iconic singer then spoke about his second wife, actor Madhubala, who battled a congenital heart condition and passed away at a young age. He revealed that he had known about her illness before they married but chose to honour his commitment nonetheless. For nine years, he cared for her as her health steadily declined, witnessing her pain and emotional struggle firsthand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like List of 15 Foods You Should Avoid Eating during Pregnancy Undo Despite her suffering and confinement to bed, he remained by her side, offering constant support, laughter, and comfort—just as her doctors had advised—until her final moments. He was candid about his third marriage to Yogeeta Bali , calling it a mistake. He felt she was never truly committed to the relationship and was more focused on her bond with her mother than on building a life with him. The marriage, he implied, lacked seriousness and quickly fell apart. Finding peace with Leena Chandavarkar Kumar concluded the interview on a more reflective note, speaking warmly about his then-wife, Leena Chandavarkar. Though she was also an actress like his previous partners, he felt she was fundamentally different. Having experienced personal tragedy with the loss of her first husband, Kishore believed Leena had gained a deeper understanding of life's fragility. Her resilience and perspective, he said, brought a sense of peace and happiness to his life. A legacy beyond the mic Kishore Kumar was a multi-talented artist known for his work as a singer, actor, and music director. He began his career as a chorus singer at Bombay Talkies and got his first break with the song Marne Ki Duayen Kyon Mangu in Ziddi. Famous for his unique yodelling style—seen in hits like Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara and Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana—he drew inspiration from Jimmie Rodgers and Tex Morton. Honoured with the Lata Mangeshkar Award in 1985, he was later commemorated through the Kishore Kumar Award. He passed away on October 13, 1987.

Prithviraj Sukumaran reacts to not receiving National Award for Aadujeevitham: 'All that I ever wanted from that film...'
Prithiviraj Sukumaran, who was recently seen in Sarzameen, is one of the most popular actors in Indian cinema. He has primarily worked in Malayalam movies along with Tamil, Telugu, and Hindi movies. Prithviraj has given several terrific performances in films, and Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life was one of them. Unfortunately, the movie hasn't received a National Award. Prithviraj Sukumaran talks about Aadujeevitham not receiving National Award In a recent interview with Mid-Day, Prithviraj Sukumaran was asked about how fans were expecting him to be a frontrunner at the 71st National Awards for his 2024 release, Aadujeevitham. Reacting to this, the Sarzameen actor shared that he is content with the success of the 2024 survival thriller and that no award is a 'goalpost' in his mind. Prithiviraj Sukumaran acknowledges that audience liked his performance in Aadujeevitham 'I wanted the film to work. I wanted people to like my performance, and most importantly, I wanted the world to know that man's story. All three happened. There's nothing else that I want from the film,' the actor said. 'If I get a National Award, great; if I don't, congratulations to whoever gets it,' he added. Why did Ashutosh Gowariker and other jury members skip Aadujeevitham? According to the report, the decision to omit Aadujeevitham from the winners list of the recently announced National Awards has faced severe backlash. In an interview, National Awards jury member Pradeep Nair revealed the reason by saying that jury chairperson Ashutosh Gowariker and others felt that the 'adaptation lacked naturality' and the performances weren't 'authentic'. More about Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life For the uninitiated, Aadujeevitham is an adaptation of the 2008 Malayalam novel of the same name by Benyamin. Directed and co-produced by Blessy, the biographical survival drama film starred Prithviraj Sukumaran as Najeeb Muhammed, the Malayali immigrant living in Saudi Arabia. Aadujeevitham: The Goat Life is among the top 10 highest-grossing Malayalam movies at the worldwide box office. It is on the fourth spot in the list after Empuraan, Manjummel Boys, and 2018. Prithiviraj now has an upcoming Malayalam film, Vilayath Buddha, in the pipeline, which is scheduled to hit the screens this year. Apart from this, he is also a part of SS Rajamouli's yet-to-be-released movie, SSMB29, co-starring Mahesh Babu and Priyanka Chopra.
