Actor Vivian Dsena makes one thing clear to the makers before he signs a new show, and the clause is non-negotiable. “I’m not comfortable kissing on screen. I have never done it and I never intend to [do it in future]. But, if at all the situation arises, I will still refuse to do the same,” says the actor, who has been a part of popular fictions such as Kasamh Se, Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani, Madhubala — Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, as well as reality shows such as Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa 8 and Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi.

“I make it clear on the day I sign the contract [for any new show] itself that I will not do intimate scenes. And I clearly point it out [to the makers of the show] that I am not comfortable doing such scenes on screen,” adds the actor, who was married to Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani co-actor Vahbiz Dorabjee for four years before they divorced in 2017.
Currently starring in Shakti — Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, Vivian feels a show does not require such scenes to draw audience. “I don’t think it’s mandatory that an actor has to kiss to make a show work,” he says, adding that content, presentation, and performance are what make a show popular.
