Actor Vivian Dsena (right) shot to instant stardom when he portrayed the role of Abhay (a vampire) in the show Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, a rip-off of popular Hollywood film series, the Twilight saga. The actor then went on to do successful shows such as Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, followed by a great stint on reality shows including Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8 and Khatron Ke Khiladi. Though fans love to watch him on TV, Vivian says he’s more of a private person and doesn’t enjoy going out much.

“I’m a family guy. The time that I spend with my mother is the most precious time for me. I feel whatever publicity I’m getting is enough. I don’t think I should go out of the way to interact with the media. I don’t get a kick by reading too many stories about me. I prefer to be visible for my work because I feel, if you are good at your job, audience will respect you,” says the actor, who avoids the media glare and believes that being too available may end up circulatin­g incorrect informatio­n.

Besides acting, Vivian also believes in doing social work but he doesn’t wish to make any noise about it. “It’s my job to stand by those who need help. As a responsibl­e citizen, it’s one of my priorities. But I don’t show off. I do it silently.”
