Now it can be told. The real story
behind the return of Vivian Dsena to
Colors' Madhubala.
Plummeting TRPs and insistent fans
forced the serial's crative team to
devise a new method of sneaking
Vivian back on the show.
Apparently Vivian who shot to
household fame with his volatile
edgy character RK was loath to
return after his differences with
many members of the Madhubala
team including his leading lady
Drashti Dham .
Says a source from the show, "Vivian
had become larger than the
show.And he know it. The Madhubala
team wanted to cut him down to
size. They thought they'd be able to
get on with the show without
Vivian.But the falling TRPs forced
them to do a re-think."
It was decided to immediately bring
Vivian Dsena back on Madhubala to
save the show from shutting down
though the creative team and the
serial's writers had no idea how and
where to fit the actor back in.
The promos showing Vivian's re-
entry into the serial have begun and
the actor claims he doesn't know
what his character is called, thereby
confirming the opinion that Vivian
was summoned back to bail the
serial out of the doldrums.
Says Vivian, "It's true I am still not
sure what my character is called. The
plot has moved forward by a couple
of generations. My original character
RK is no more a part of the story.
They thought of bringing me back as
another character called RK. But that
would be confusing for viewers,
though they want me back as RK. But
I am not sure if that is what I am
going to be called."
He admits he was resurrected on the
soap for practical reasons. "Well,I
heard the rating had begun to drop
after I left. But I don't want to see
myself as a chart-runner or the TRP
booster of Madhubala. That's too
much pressure on me and also a
little vain . I will say one thing,
though. I came back on the show
only because the producer Abhinav
Shukla asked me to. He was insistent
that I return. I couldn't say no to
him.And now my fans are
bombarding Abhinav with thanks for
my return on various social
networking sites and Twitter.He
feels stalked!"
Does all this adulation give Vivian a
swollen head? "It is actually very
sobering.I see my return to
Madhubala as a sign from God. He
wants me to be part of this show.As
long as He wants it no one , not even
I, can get me out of Madhubala."
Vivian has a very different character
to play now. "This is the first time
ever that an actor has returned to a
serial playing a character totally
unrelated to the one played earlier.
It's a challenge for me and for the
team to fit me in ."
He denies differences with his co-
star Drashti Dham. "We work well
together.After that she goes her way
I go home to my wife. That's the way
it is. That's how it should be."
