The most awaited 18th season of Bigg Boss is set to premiere on October 6, 2024. Among the most anticipated contestants is television actor Vivian Dsena. Known for his powerful performances in popular shows like Madhubala Ek Ishq Ek Junoon and Shakti Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, we asked Vivian about his decision to participate in the show. “This wasn’t my first reaction. I had been offered Bigg Boss for eight years, and I had been saying no. But this time, after discussing it with my wife, friends, and family, they encouraged me to take the step and give it a chance. They reminded me that growth happens outside the comfort zone. I realized I needed to challenge myself and evolve, especially since I had already done fiction and non-fiction shows. This was the only thing left, so I decided to give it a shot.”
Vivian, who has always been known for his work in the industry, shares how he would introduce himself in the Bigg Boss house. He says, “I would like to introduce myself as the real me. I’m a grounded, genuine person. I’ve always been very frank and outspoken, and I like it that way in life. I value things that are organic and real, whether it’s people or situations. That’s why my circle of friends is small and consists only of trusted individuals. So, if I were to describe myself, I’d say I’m straightforward, honest, grounded, and real. I’d like to play the game the same way in the house.”
Bigg Boss is a show known for contestants bitching, plotting, and conspiring. So, if the need arises where you have to backstab the person who trusted you the most in the house, will you choose friendship or backstabbing? Vivian responds, “The answer is simple. People who know me understand that I will never backstab anyone who trusts me, whether it’s on-screen, off-screen, a friend, or even a stranger. Friendship always wins for me, and humanity comes first. So, backstabbing is not something I’d ever consider inside the house.” He also adds, “It’s an unpredictable game. While I like to stay cool and composed, you never know what can trigger a person inside. I will try my best to maintain my composure, but if someone pushes me too far, I can’t predict how I’ll react. It all depends on the situation. If someone respects me, I will respect them. But if someone rubs me the wrong way, I might respond accordingly.”
