‘AT TIMES, MY WORDS ARE MISCONSTRUED’

It’s work over social media for Vivian

Unlike most of his contemporaries who use social media to update their fans about their work, and sometimes, even their personal life, actor Vivian Dsena prefers to lie low on the medium. The actor — known for shows like Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon and Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani — shares that he is not comfortable posting about every new development in his life.

“I don’t believe in being very active on social media. I’m not really a social person. I don’t like to tell what I’ll have for lunch or what I had for breakfast. I’m a private person,” says Dsena, who made his acting debut with Kasamh Se, and has been seen on reality shows Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi.

Elaborating his point of view, the actor says, “There are people who love the attention they get when it comes to social media.”

“It depends on their choice and I completely understand that. If someone loves attention, they will post what they are doing, and they get appreciated. But I am not like that,” adds Dsena.

The actor doesn’t agree with the common perception that if one isn’t on social media, they are missing out on a lot, either.

“As far as talent is concerned, I don’t think being on social media makes any difference. A lot of actors have a lot of followers on social media, but that does not define the kind or amount of work they are doing. Social media doesn’t make you a star, your work does,” he says, adding, however, being a dedicated football fanatic, he follows footballers such as former French national Lionel Mathis and Swede Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
