Television heartthrob Vivian Dsena, known for his roles in popular shows like Madhubala and Shakti: Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, is finally making his way to the reality show Bigg Boss 18. According to sources, he will be the highest-paid contestant this season, surpassing Nia Sharma, who was previously rumored to hold that title.
Fans of Vivian have been waiting for years to see him on the show, but the actor has always avoided joining Bigg Boss. He had often mentioned in interviews that the show didn’t suit his personality. However, this season, the channel has finally managed to convince him to be part of Salman Khan’s hit show.
Shoaib Ibrahim Exits, Vivian Dsena Steps In
The decision to bring Vivian on board came after Shoaib Ibrahim, who was initially selected to participate, backed out just days before the show was set to begin. The makers then turned to Vivian, who has a long-standing relationship with Colors TV, having appeared on several of its reality shows, including Khatron Ke Khiladi and Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa.
With his entry, Vivian will now be competing in one of the most-watched reality shows in the country, bringing his reserved, no-nonsense attitude into the Bigg Boss house. Fans are already comparing his personality to that of the late Siddharth Shukla, who won Bigg Boss 13 and was known for his straightforward and strong-willed approach.
Vivian Dsena Becomes Highest Paid Contestant
Vivian’s inclusion in Bigg Boss 18 comes with a hefty paycheck. It is reported that he is being paid between Rs 8 to 10 lakh per week, a significant amount compared to Nia Sharma, who was offered around Rs 5.4 lakh per week. This makes Vivian the highest-paid contestant in the current season.
Convincing him to join the show was no easy task, as he had been reluctant in the past. However, the channel’s persistent efforts have finally paid off, ensuring that the viewers will see one of TV’s most popular stars compete in the show.
Vivian Dsena’s fanbase is thrilled with this news, and expectations are high for how he will fare inside the Bigg Boss house. Known for his strong and calm demeanor, he is likely to make a strong impact on both the contestants and the viewers.
