Actor Vivian Dsena, who emerged as the runner-up of Bigg Boss Season 18, recently appeared on Bharti Singh and Haarsh Limbachiyaa’s podcast with his wife Nouran Aly. During the conversation, Vivian opened up about his loyalty towards Colors and explained why he was called ‘Colors TV ka laadla’. Vivian also shared how he never abused this favoritism tag.
During the conversation, Haarsh discussed how Bigg Boss is never scripted and added, “A lot of people don’t know the legality. When you bring a show from abroad, there are certain laws around it. If you don’t follow those, there can be complications on an international level. Bigg Boss must be an IP worth 5000 to 10000 crores. It’s one of the biggest IPs in the world. No network will make you win a show just because they favour you.”
Responding to this, Vivian Dsena explained that even though he was called Color’s favorite, he never misused it. “Just because I was being called the ‘laadla’, people formed a perception around me. They assumed that I would get preference. Even though others also got coffee, my coffee was highlighted. Other contestants who were lactose intolerant or were on a vegan diet were provided with soy milk or almond milk specially, but only my special coffee got highlighted for the whole season. They used to get 2 to 3 bottles of coffee every week.”
He added, “Everybody told me that I could have used the ‘laadla’ tag to my benefit and have an upper hand, but that was unfair in my eyes. The reason why I am perceived as ‘Colors Laadla’ is because I have worked with only one network for years. At every peak I had, a lot of people came to me with offers. One network had come to me asking me to leave Colors. But that channel has made me and if they offer me a show, I will not give preference to other channels. My only fight with them has been about bringing different concepts so that it doesn’t get boring. This is why I do limited work, but all of them are hits. I prefer being honest with my work and my audience.”
On the work front, Vivian Dsena expressed that while he is open to exploring the OTT space, he doesn’t want to venture into Bollywood. Vivian also shared that even though he has done Khatron Ke Khiladi in the past, he would want to participate in the show once again.
