Mumbai, Jan 14
Actor Vivian Dsena has exited the reality show 'Laughter Chefs: Fun Unlimited 3', as he is set to begin work on a new fiction series, which remains under wraps, "but those close to it hint at a familiar universe returning in a new form."
A source close to the channel shared, "After completing his stint on Laughter Chef, Vivian Dsena has stepped away to focus entirely on a new fiction series with Colors."
According to sources, the actor has been deeply involved in workshops and pre-production meetings for an upcoming fiction series with Colors.
"The project remains under wraps, but those close to it hint at a familiar universe returning in a new form. With workshops and pre-production keeping him fully booked, Vivian is preparing for something he prefers to let his work reveal - in its own time," the source added.
Vivian's career started with a call from Gladrags Manhunt and Megamodel Contest. He was among the top 10 finalists in Gladrags Manhunt contest in 2007. He later walked the ramp for designers like Vikram Phadnis. The actor has said he was rejected 350 to 400 times.

He was then seen as a superstar in the romantic drama Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, social drama Shakti - Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, and romantic drama Sirf Tum.
The actor played a cameo role in the romantic drama Udaariyaan. He also participated in reality shows such as Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa season 8, Khatron Ke Khiladi 7, and Bigg Boss 18.
Meanwhile, Laughter Chefs - Unlimited Entertainment is an Indian competitive cooking comedy reality series. The series is hosted by Bharti Singh and judged by Harpal Singh Sokhi. It is based on the Tamil comedy cooking reality show Cooku with Comali.

Honestly, Laughter Chefs will miss his comic timing. He was one of the better parts of the show. But can't blame him for choosing a lead role in a series over a reality show cameo. All the best, VD!
"Familiar universe returning in a new form" has me intrigued. Colors is known for its supernatural dramas. Could it be a spiritual successor to his old shows? The wait for the reveal is already killing me!
Respect for his hustle. Rejected 400 times and still going strong. That's the kind of perseverance we need to teach our kids. Wishing him success with the new project.
A bit disappointed, to be honest. He was bringing good energy to Laughter Chefs. The channel keeps teasing these "mystery projects" that sometimes turn out to be just another typical daily soap. Hope this one is different and worth the switch.
Abhay Raichand is coming back? Please let it be true! 🥳 That character was legendary. Whatever it is, Vivian's dedication shows. Workshops and pre-production meetings mean he's taking it seriously. Best of luck!
