Did Vivian Dsena and Shilpa Shirodkar's friendship fall out after Bigg Boss 18?
Bigg Boss 18, the latest season of the controversial reality show, was one of the most talked-about seasons to date. A significant highlight of the season was Shilpa Shirodkar's friendship with Karan Veer Mehra and Vivian Dsena. While Shilpa and Karan Veer's bond remains strong after the show, her connection with Vivian has faded. In a recent interview, Shilpa revealed that she is no longer in touch with Vivian and doesn't miss him. During a conversation with Zoom, Shilpa Shirodkar was asked if she misses her friendship with Vivian. She candidly responded that she does not miss him, stating, "I have not at all been ashamed or embarrassed by Vivian. He was the first friend I made in that house." Reflecting on their time in Bigg Boss 18, Shilpa explained that the initial days were tough for Vivian as he was simply being himself. Shilpa highlighted that others struggled to understand Vivian's way of speaking and mannerisms, but she had seen a softer side of him. The actress revealed that she and Vivian Dsena are currently not in touch. She praised Vivian but mentioned that she had met him last on the Laughter Chefs 2 set. The Bigg Boss 18 fame further explained, "He did what he did and said what he said—that was probably the best thing for him (as) he was just talking his heart out. I was being me. We both were being ourselves. Rishte kabhi aage chale toh chale, nahi chale toh nahi chale (If relationships move forward, they do; if they don't, they don't). There is no love lost. But my best wishes are with him always." For the uninformed, after Bigg Boss 18, Shilpa is closely in touch with her close friends Chum Darang, Karan Veer Mehra and Digvijay Rathee. The group often meets and shares pictures on social media. Recently, the actress was in the headlines when she disclosed that she was diagnosed with Covid-19. Later, Shilpa shared an update about her recovery, assuring her fans about her well-being.

Bigg Boss 18's Vivian Dsena Is More Of A TV Person, Says ‘Films Are Not My Type'
Last Updated: 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. First Published:

Phil Robertson, ‘Duck Dynasty' Patriarch, Dies at 79
Phil Robertson, the patriarch of the hit show 'Duck Dynasty' and the founder of a duck hunting gear business that became the foundation of his family's reality television empire, has died. He was 79. His death was confirmed by his son Jase Robertson in a social media post late Sunday that did not specify a cause. Jase said on the family's podcast last year that his father had early-stage Alzheimer's and other health problems. Mr. Robertson was one of the stars of 'Duck Dynasty,' an A&E series that stars his family — Mr. Robertson and his wife, Kay; their sons; the sons' wives; an uncle and some grandchildren — and revolves loosely around their duck hunting gear business. Mr. Robertson was born on April 24, 1946, in Vivian, La. He founded Duck Commander, a company that makes duck-call instruments used in hunting, in 1973 in Louisiana. 'Duck Dynasty,' which ran over 11 seasons from 2012 to 2017, once ranked among the most popular shows on cable and had as many as 12 million viewers. But it occasionally courted controversy. In 2013, Mr. Robertson was briefly suspended from the show after an interview surfaced in which he had made statements that were widely seen as offensive to gay people. But the network quickly reinstated him under pressure from fans and after the family issued a statement saying in effect that there would be no show without their patriarch. Last year, Jase Robertson said on the family's podcast, 'Unashamed with the Robertson Family,' that his father had early-stage Alzheimer's. 'Phil's not doing well,' Jase said, adding that Mr. Robertson also had a 'blood disease causing all kinds of problems.' Mr. Robertson's survivors include his wife, his sons Alan, Jase, Jep and Willie, and several grandchildren.
