Kamya Punjabi Backs Vivian Dsena as Fans Shower Him with Unwavering Love

Renu Choudhary — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 17:55:33 +0530

Kamya Punjabi, who is currently seen in Ishq Jabariya, has come out in support of her former co-star, Vivian Dsena, as he competes in Bigg Boss 18. Having shared the screen with Vivian in Shakti Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki on Colors TV, Kamya speaks highly of her experience working with him and the bond they've maintained over the years.

"I know Vivian as my co-star in Shakti. It was a good working experience with him, and I knew Vivian even before this. I am an avid follower of Bigg Boss, and though I’ve missed a few episodes, I will be watching it regularly, especially for Vivian," Kamya said, showing her support for the actor.
Kamya, who has herself been a contestant on Bigg Boss and is a regular viewer, recently stirred a conversation with her tweet questioning the use of the term "Colors ka ladla" in reference to Vivian. In her tweet, she expressed concern that such labels could be detrimental to a contestant's game.
Addressing the tweet, Kamya clarified, "Terms like 'ladla' shouldn’t be used, whether it’s for Vivian or anyone else, because it’s a game. Such terms unnecessarily hamper the potential of a strong player like Vivian.

He is a 'lambi race ka ghoda' and a good human being. He is very intelligent and sharp but often misunderstood. Give him a fair chance to play, and no one should put labels on him."
Kamya emphasized that Vivian’s fan following is genuine, and she is confident that he will receive everyone’s support in Bigg Boss 18. Her backing adds weight to Vivian’s presence in the show, as both friends and fans rally behind him in his journey.

Sahil Balani Talks Friendship: 'Real Friends Don’t Need Constant Maintenance'

Renu Choudhary — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 00:31:49 +0530

Actor Sahil Balani, who plays the role of Dilip Jadhav in Rahul Kumar Tewary & Rolling Tales Production’s Udne Ki Aasha, says that true friends are rare to find. However, he adds that when one finds such friends, one should never let them go.

“I believe that friendship is crucial both in my on-screen and off-screen life. With your best friends, you can truly be yourself without the fear of being judged. People may change over time, but a strong friendship remains constant. My on-screen character, Dilip, shares this value for friendship. He is heavily influenced by his best friend, Chitti, and due to his immaturity, he struggles to differentiate between right and wrong. Regardless of the consequences, he follows his friend's advice, believing that ‘Bhai Ne Boldiya’ my friend told me to do it),” he says.

Talking about his best friends, he says, “My best friends have always been incredibly supportive, both financially and emotionally. The best quality they possess is allowing me to be myself—I don’t have to overthink anything when I’m with them.”

He adds, “On set, my close friends—Aai, Juhi, and Sailee—bring me happiness, confidence, and positive motivation. Their presence is a great source of support.”

He adds that true friendship does not need any extra care. “True friendships don’t need constant maintenance; they are built on trust and understanding. We know that no matter what, we are just a phone call away. Even if we aren’t in touch for a long time, whenever we reconnect, it feels like no time has passed,” he says.

He adds, “One of the biggest reasons for my personal and professional growth is my friends. I still remember that after my last show, I was unemployed for more than 1.5 years. There were times when I had no money and couldn’t pay my rent for 2-3 months. But my friends kept me motivated, supported me financially, never judged me, and never left my side. They made me feel like family and were always there for me. Who I am today is largely because of their unwavering support.”
