Bigg Boss 18: Vivian Dsena’s Transformation from ‘Ladla’ to Selfless Hero

Bigg Boss 18: Vivian Dsena’s Journey from Being Called the Channel’s ‘Favorite’ to Sacrificing Ticket To Finale for Chum Darang

As Bigg Boss 18 approaches its grand finale, let’s look back at Vivian Dsena’s journey on the show.

Vivian has been one of the most talked-about contestants this season. After being approached by the makers for seven years, he finally agreed to appear on Bigg Boss 18, marking his return to television. However, his journey has not been without controversy. With only a few days left before the grand finale, let’s take a closer look at his time on the show.

When Vivian entered the house, he quickly became a fan favorite. He and Alice Kaushik were named the ‘top 2’ contestants on the premiere day. But soon, he was labeled the channel’s ‘favorite’ because of his famous role as RK in the popular show Madhubala. Some viewers believed the channel was favoring him due to his large fanbase and past connection with them.

Vivian’s gameplay sparked debates. Some critics called him a weak contestant, even though he made a mark with his style, love for coffee, and fashionable outfits. Host Salman Khan poked fun at him during Weekend Ka Vaar, saying Vivian would be remembered not for his gameplay, but for his love of coffee and his wardrobe. Vivian was often criticized for not contributing much to the show.

Vivian’s relationship with Karan Veer Mehra was another highlight. The two actors, who have known each other for 12 years, often found themselves at odds in the house. Though they have shared a bromance, with Vivian even asking Karan to taste his food, their friendship became strained, and Vivian made it clear that Karan was not his friend.

Vivian’s connection with Shilpa Shirodkar was also a point of interest. She was seen as a ‘mom’ figure to both Karan and Vivian. While they started off on good terms, things soured later. On Weekend Ka Vaar, Shilpa was often asked, “Who is more important to you, Karan or Vivian?”

Adding drama to the show, Vivian’s wife, Nouran, entered the house to give him some tough love. She told him he needed to step up his game. Vivian also received similar advice from Kamya Dabang, who reminded him that his performance wasn’t strong enough so far. Vivian later confronted Avinash about nominating him.

Vivian recently gained attention when he sacrificed his Ticket to Finale during a task for his friend, Chum Darang. Chum fell during the task and said that Vivian had played too aggressively. Feeling guilty, Vivian sacrificed his chance to go to the finale to support his friend.

As the grand finale nears, Vivian’s future on the show remains uncertain. Despite his strong fanbase, his gameplay has been questioned. It remains to be seen if he can turn things around before the finale. His journey, filled with ups and downs, will surely make him one of the top contenders.
