Vivian Dsena in talks for a new show

Vivian Dsena, one of the most popular faces on Indian television, last hit headlines when he quit Colors’ successful show Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. The actor is back in news once again and for all the right reasons.

If fresh reports are to be believed, Dsena is planning to take up a new show and make a comeback to television. As per a report published on a popular entertainment portal, the actor has been approached to headline a show by Saurabh Tewari, a renowned television producer known for such shows as Krishna Chali London and Zindagi Ki Mehek. The untitled show will air on Colors.

“Saurabh has discussed the idea with Vivian about his upcoming show on Colors. Focusing on the concept of forced marriages, the show will be a love story weaved carefully against the backdrop of Gujarat. Vivian is yet to give his nod and is still mulling over it,” a source close to the development informs the portal.

Talking about his exit from Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, Dsena had earlier told the same portal, “Honestly speaking, I thought the leap was the time when I could walk off. Imagine after 20 years of a leap, I have a son who is 22 years old, and I am myself 30 years old. It isn’t relatable to me. Imagine the young actor speaking to me as buddies once the camera is cut. Somehow, I did not have a conviction towards this and they knew this from day 1 that post leap Vivian wouldn’t be comfortable doing this. This is nothing new. Actually, during Madhubala too, I had left the show post leap.”

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.

Ageing Icon or Fading Star? Salman Khan’s outdated onscreen avatar sparks criticism in yet another box-office debacle

Salman Khan is stuck in the past

There have been many instances across generations where once-popular leading men, unwilling to grow old gracefully, have clung to past glories so desperately that they have ended up dismantling their own legacies.

These ageing Bollywood idols continued romancing inappropriately young heroines, playing roles far removed from their real age, and starring in outdated movies where their presence mattered more than the storyline.
