Leap+VD Quitting Madhubala/Getting Replaced (Discuss HERE) [note p.29] - Page 20

While there's buzz that Vivian Dsena has been bumped off from TV show Madhubala... Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, the actor, who has played superstarRK for almost two years, seems unfazed. He says, "I was informed about the time leap and RK's death three days ago. RK and Madhu's love story has been over-exploited. Hence, the decision. I wouldn't have looked convincing as a father to a 25-year-old girl as I'm 25."

Why does he think the time leap happened? "Plummeting TRPs and the over-abuse of the RK-Madhu relationship caused the leap," he says, adding that he believes that all good things come to an end. "Of course, it feels bad. It's our baby. To establish a show and make it a success, demands a lot of hard work, especially with such stiff competition. However, everybody has to move on. Nothing is permanent in the world. Reel orreal life, there is an end to everything. You won't remain popular forever," he adds.

With his track wrapping up in a week's time, doesn't he find the development abrupt? "TV is unpredictable. I am no one to comment on it. The creative team must have decided in the best interest of the show."

The character has won him recognition and applauds, so will he be able to get out of its shadow easily? "Yes, it has made an image and is larger-than-life. God has been kind. They called me wooden-face and non-performer when I started working in Madhubala, but it didn't bother me. They even said that I am a misfit and too young to play RK. I leave everything to destiny," says Vivian.

About his 'alleged' tantrums, the actor says, "Some people like me so much that they wanted me to sit at home and not play RK and hence, the rumours of me throwing tantrums. Had that been so, I wouldn't have been shooting 12 hours a day, 26 days a month. Someone snooty will shoot five hours and will give only 10 days to the show. I have never taken excessive leaves as I realise the show revolves around RK and Madhubala. I don't like people being intrusive as one has to respect my personal space. People have gone to the extent of creating my fake IDs on social networking sites and leaking out confidential information from the shoot."

So, what did his co-actor Drashti Dhami say about the development, with rumours doing the rounds that the two are no longer on talking terms? "That's not true. We are cordial. We haven't got the chance to speak about my exit," Vivian insists.

Talking about life after Madhubala, he says, "I'm planning to take a month-long break and spend time with my family in Ujjain. I also intend to work on my body; I have gained seven kilos."

It'd have been just ridiculous to see him as a daddy of 25 year old girl !

Why people not understanding this? I hope he not come again. I do not want him back now. It is good plan what he had decided... go meet his family... do fitness and football... it is needed for him. Go ahead VD I am with you.
