I am not a per day daily soap actor: Vivian Dsena
"When I signed Madhubala I was asked for 15 days from the production house.So, when a production house asks for 15 days that means they will use your 10 days and for rest of the 20 days you will be jobless. I remember the first article that was written about Madhubala because of which I got little affected. Since I was in that phase of my career where I could miserably make or break. I still remember it and it has stayed with me like a bad memory. The first thing I read about me was Vivian Dsena is a misfit in Madhubala to play a superstar. All I did was I looked up to God and said now it's all in your hand. I am working hard and putting my best foot forward. I lost 14 kgs in 32 days time. I went through a lot of changes in my body shape. I was asked to look huge on the opening episode of Madhubala. Then after 20 days I was asked to look thinner and I shrinked for the jail sequence. God will always give you justice if you work hard. Your efforts will never go in vain. If you see it seriously the line could have shattered my confidence. But I took it upon myself that now I am going to prove that I am made for this character. There were times when I had less sleep or I used to fell asleep in my car. I used to drink coffee to be awake and work hard to improvise a scene. I took extra efforst to make the character standout. It is very easy to say "Karta kya hai...thoda style marta hai dialogue bolta hai hogaya. But I know what all I have done to play RK better. Rest is history," shared Vivian.
When asked about the rumours of him throwing his weight around on the sets, Vivian responded, "Tantrum news doesn't affect me. Forget about it reaching my head it doesn't even enter my make-up room. I have understood one thing very clearly in life, if people are talking about you it means you are important. I am a simple guy. I come on the sets, work hard and take my work seriously. You got to be really close to me to play with my feelings. I am an exclusive person I make less friends and lesser enemies. As far as throwing tantrums is considered I think I take my work seriously so they think the only arena left is my personal life so they target that. I don't know if working for 12 hours and out of 22 minutes telecast I am seen on-air for 16 minutes is called throwing tantrums then yes I do. I don't know how do people define tantrum. For me tantrum is when people don't take their work seriously. But for me I have put my blood and soul into my shows even after a stage when actors become complacent. If this is called throwing tantrum then I am the tantrum king."
The TV heartthrob has always been in the news for not getting along with his co-stars, when quizzed about the same, he said, "I don't like being best of friends with my co-actors. I like being professional on sets. My personal life doesn't reach my sets and vice-versa. I keep it logical and simple."
