Vivian Dsena opens up about quitting Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki

Vivian Dsena is undoubtedly one of the most popular actors on Indian television. Ever since beginning his career, the actor has always made a point to choose characters that are out of the ordinary. Be it Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, Madhubala – Ek Ishq Ek Junoon or Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, his selection of shows has always been amazing.

The 30-year-old actor was last seen in Rashmi Sharma Telefilms’ hit show Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki. It featured him in the role of a rich boy from an influential family, who goes all out to marry a transgender. Vivian received enormous praises for his performance in the show. However, after being a part of Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki for almost three years, the actor quit the show, surprising his fans across the world.

In a recent interview, when the actor was asked if it difficult for him to walk away from the show, he replied, “Everything in the world comes with eventuality. 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 is not 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.”

Upon being asked if he has ever been offered Bigg Boss, the actor said, “When they offered me Bigg Boss, I was doing Shakti and there were creative talks going on with them. But imagine, a person who is not even active on social media, how will he be comfortable in front of the camera all day confined in a house,” the actor said in conclusion.
