Vivian Dsena on Coronavirus pandemic, “This too shall pass”

Vivian Dsena is one of the finest actors that Indian television industry has ever produced. Last seen on Colors’ path-breaking show Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, the small screen heartthrob is currently practising self-isolation and quarantining in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak.

Since the actor is known for keeping a wide berth from unnecessary limelight, staying cooped up at home is not an issue for him. “I am spending time with myself. I am not much social in any case. Those who have an active social life and into flaunting their social life are surely affected. We didn’t need corona to realize what and who is important to us. We must value our relationships, life and career. Everything is a choice. A man should be an architect of his circumstances and not the victim,” he says.


The actor is devoting a lot of time to cooking these days. He says, “I love to cook and experiment. Before the Corona pandemic happened, I cooked rose cake and walnut cake. I try to cook a lot of varieties of Khichdi as it is light for the stomach and great for the summers. I cook paneer khichdi, spinach khichdi, and our traditional khichdi.”

Dsena urges people to take the lockdown seriously and follow all the guidelines issued by the government strictly. “I urge all people to follow the guidelines as stated by PM and should not panic. Everyone is on the same ship. This too shall pass. It is not easy for everyone to stay indoor but it is necessary to save ourselves and our country.”

The actor emphasises on mental health during these trying times, “We all have to keep ourselves busy and also maintain a positive mental attitude. Mental health is very important and we always tend to ignore it. Life has brought us in such a situation that we need to face life and realities on the face. Things eventually will turn back to normal. Faith is very important. We have to keep peace, patience and positivity and it has to be spread everywhere.”
