Cool, Candid & Chilled

He's a telly superstar, cooks really well and is a mumma's boy. A refreshing chat with the unconventional guy facing a conventional world, Vivian Dsena
Sporting a sexy stubble, ripped jeans, black tee and a cap, small screen scorcher Vivian Dsena was at his chilled out best, tucking into his lunch, when Mirror met him on Sunday.In the city to judge a contest, the everyone's favourite Rishabh Kundra aka RK (of Madhubala) gave us a peek into his world.
"I cannot be fake. If I connect, then I am all out, otherwise I will be formal," said Vivian, whose played a vampire in Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani.
"There are a lot of talented youngsters here and pretty good-looking, too. They are very confident which usually doesn't come at this age," he said of Amdavadi talent.
'I AM MY OWN COMPETITOR'
"No, I don't keep a tab on fellow actors. Sometimes when I ask about someone signing a show, they say: 'That was two months ago!'" said Vivian, adding "I am my competitor."
UNCONVENTIONAL GUY
"I don't look at things as people would normally do. If I take up a show, I think 'Does the show deserve me and do I deserve the show?' So, I look at it differently. Acting is an art and I'm a self-trained actor; I'm still learning," he said. So, he thinks unconventionally. "People don't realise that I've always been like this. It is not after I portrayed a character like that of RK," he said. Has he faced criticism for being so chilled out? "'Uska kuch nahi ho sakta', is something I've always got to hear," he said.
'CRASH DIETING IS BULL****!'
"I play football for 330 minutes a week. None of the gym-goers can put in that much. It's about being fit, not just making muscles. And crash dieting is bull****," said Vivian, who has an athlete for mother and a footballer father.
SMALL SCREEN, SILVER SCREEN
All actors have their silver screen dreams and roles. But Vivian is "chilled out". "After Pyaar Kii... I thought I'd graduate to films, but I realised I still have to learn," he said.Talking of compliments, the dashing actor said beaming, "People say I have act like Rajesh Khanna."
A self-confessed foodie, we realised Vivian not only loves to gorge on food, but enjoys feeding people when he exclaimed pointing towards a blueberry mousse he had got, "Aapko khatam karein bina jaane nahi doonga."
We leave him -of course after finishing the dessert -with his fans.
