TOI- Why VD took a break from TV soaps

His last show, 'Madhubala', went off air in 2014 and it's only now that actor Vivian Dsena has signed his next show, 'Shakti " Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki'. The actor has done reality shows in between, but had kept away from doing any regular show on television. And turns out, the reason behind it is to reinvent himself.

Speaking to a daily, Vivian said, "After 'Madhubala'. I was offered similar roles. All the rich arrogant characters that came to me, I told producers I've done it earlier. Even though I could have made easy money, I was on the lookout for new roles."

Speaking about competition, he told the newspaper that he is more interested in growing as an actor than be part of the rat race. He added that something has to differentiate him from other actors. He said, "I didn't set out to achieve anything in life. I like to live in the moment."
