Raj: hi Vivian

Viv: hi raj

Raj is happy that viv gave time out for the interview

Viv: im glad to im talking to you and you are connecting me to my fans.

Raj: first of all lets talk about madhubala how does it feel to be part of such a successful show on colors?

Viv: i believe in hard work and when you work hard you'll get success, be honest with yourself, be honest with your job, be yourself and you'll be there, that's it, that's what I believe.

Raj: how has the programme turned out to be when you first started.

Viv: people around accepted my character, they love me as RK, the other thing I love about madhubala is the characters, the storyline, the actors, the writers, directors, producers and the creative team, we all work a team as one and you get a successful show like madhubala EIEJ

Raj: ofcourse madhubala is a tribute to 100yrs of Indian cinema how does it feel paying tribute to them.

Viv: ive been very lucky to be part of it since my childhood ive been watching Indian cinema and I say someday I will be part of it and here I am gladly giving tribute to 100 yrs of cinema.

Raj: the show has been running for a few months now tell us what has been the most memorable part of a success of the show for you

Viv: every single day of my life on madhubala set has been memorable everywhere I get to do new things with my character, where I get to learn new things, as an actor no one knows everything, you learn every single day of your life, not just an actor every human beings learn everyday of life.

Raj: would you say there has been a challenging part in the series while you been doing the show

Viv: ofcourse RK a superstar no one has ever played on television, you don't have references,what to do of how do you experiment, all you do read your script, play your character, be focused all the time. I do a lot my own dialogues including the writers dialogues this builds upto the character.

Fans quesions

Raj: which character is better abhay raichand or rishab kundra and why?

Viv: both of them are better, he got two characters which have never come on television, a vampire which was the first vampire on Indian television and the other a superstar which was the first superstar on Indian television, I have been blessed to be playing them for the first time on indian teleivision so I love them both, different characters, different experience, fab experience.

Raj:Vivian youre talking about playing a superstar on madhubala, how much research goes into playing that character?

Viv: ive not done the research, it's the dialogues, research is simple how the superstar looks, they live a larger then life character in real life, apart from that the most importantly is the dialogues, the only impact you can make on the audience is by your dialogues and delivery, there are certain types of dialogues, certain types of style you add to them, I added my own dialogues along with my lovely writer raghuvir shekawats, he has given me particularly very edgy dialogues, so I think that makes a lot of difference for the audience

Raj: one dream scene you would like to act in the show.any particular dream scene.

Viv:for the only dream is a saticfaction as an actor and I would love to do a scene which I have never done before and different types of salsa's not just on madhubala but in future too which have not been portrayed on television.

Raj: aapko drashti ke saat kaam karna kaisa laga?

Viv: she is very coordinate co actor, a very sweet girl, for actors you have to focus on the other actors dialogues and vice versa, if the coordination is missing the chemistry is missing. Working with drashti has been a fab and good experience.

Raj: do you light the twilight series and what is your fav vampire movie.

Viv: I like the second part of breaking dawn, not any in particular I like all, I like watching vampires

Raj: do you like watching horror films, is that your favourite genre, what films

Viv: not only horror films I like vampire films, very stylized and in nowadays.

Raj: wackiest moment on madhubala, some scene, dialogue

Viv: my fav dialogue In madhubala is 'biwi tumhare paas sirf do options hai, ya toh tumhe yeh dawai peeni hogi, ya phir tumhe he dawai peeni hee hogi.

Particularly people like me calling madhu biwi, there Is a certain addat to it, I don't normally call her biwi, I call her biwii, its quite loved, when I go meet someone , they say do it once how you say biwii to madhu in madhubala

Raj: it sounds you have lots of fun on the sets of madhubala

Viv: we have a lot of fun, we play a lot of pranks, we just gather around in the evenings, tea's and snacks

Raj: do you miss your previous show that gave you so much fame (pkyek)

Viv: of course I miss pkyek a lot it remains closest to my heart, madhubala has got very close to my heart. All my life pkyek and madhubala will always remain closer to my heart

Raj:how similar is Vivian to RK in real life

Viv: (laughs) they are two different things RK are something else, Vivian dsena are something else, you need to ask my entire crew they say im a totally opposite guy to RK. The moment the director call for a cut, the first thing comes on my mind what prank shall a play with someone on the set, what shall we have, where shall we go, what shall we do.

Raj: with whom have you loved working with the most sukirti (pkyek) or drashti (MEIEJ)

Viv: sukirti she's of a different nature and drashti of a different nature, I like working more with drashti because the characters connectivity is totally different. Sukirti was a little different, RK's character with madhubala's is fun coz there is a particular edge between the characters and thin line between the characters.

Raj: would you ever work with sukirti again

Viv: lets see in future.

Raj: what drama serial has been your favourite , from kasam se to madhubala

Viv: pkyek and madhubala are the favourite one of my most favourites 1; pkyek 2'Meiej

Raj: are there any plans bringing back pkyek

Viv: I have no idea

Raj: what are your plans would you like to see it come back

Viv: I would love it to come back and I would be the first person to say yes to pkyek season 2

Raj; awesome, are you and drashti close friends off screen

Viv: vivah and drashti are good fiends, so many times vahbz comes and says more then me and drashti, vahbiz and drashti are good friends.

Raj: you do a lot of masti with the crew members except for drashti, why are you a bit reserved with drashti
