Although he began his career in 2008, it was his aloof and intense character in Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani (2010) that turned him into television’s heartthrob. After that, regardless of the role Vivian Dsena took, fans would ardently watch everything he did. His characters in shows such as Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon (2013) and Shakti—Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki (2016) only boosted his popularity. Despite being part of dance and action reality shows, the actor consistently avoided offers for Bigg Boss over the years. However, this year, Dsena finally agreed to join the 18th season.

“It was not an easy decision to make. I’ve been hesitant for more than eight years, even though I’ve been offered the show multiple times. I’ve always stayed in my comfort zone, whether it’s fictional or non-fictional work. But, this time, I felt it was important to push myself,” said the actor. He added that his family and wife, Nouran Aly, encouraged him to step out of his comfort zone and take on something challenging.
