TV actor Vivian Dsena is making headlines these days for his secret marriage with Egyptian girlfriend Nouran Aly. The actor got married to Nouran last year in Egypt but preferred to keep his relationship with her under wraps. He denied commenting on his marriage. As per source close to ‘Madhubala - Ek Ishq Ek Junoon’ actor: “The two were in a relationship for more than three years and Nouran, who was an editor of a magazine used to admire him a lot. She first interacted with him for an interview. She used to visit the sets of ‘Sirf

Tum’ to meet the actor.””Vivian Dsena is married now. It is his choice to keep his personal life personal; he doesn’t wish to talk about his personal to the actor added.Before getting married to Nouran, Vivian had tied the knot with his ‘Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani’ costar Vahbbiz Dorabjee in 2013. Although their marriage didn’t work, they filed for a divorce after three years in 2016. They finally got separated in 2021.

Producer Anand Pandit is excitedly looking forward to the release of his first Kannada coproduction ‘Kabzaa’ on March 17th. He says, “’Kabzaa’, I have said before, is a genre defining action entertainer and a period drama. However, one of the reasons why everyone is waiting for the film so eagerly is because it reunites Upendra with director R. Chandru. These two have delivered blockbusters like ‘Brahma’ and ‘I Love You’ before and ‘Kabzaa’ will offer an altogether different experience to the audience.” Pandit says he has always admired Upendra’s action avatars and adds, “My respect for him increased manifold after watching his explosive action sequences in ‘Kabzaa’. His performance graph shows us how a youth turns into a gangster in a story that begins in the preindependence era and goes up to the 1980s. R. Chandru and he have a fantastic tuning and they bring the best out of each other. What makes the film even more exciting is the star power of Kichcha Sudeep and Shriya Saran.” Sudeep, reminds Pandit, did not only gain pan-Indian approval post the actioner ‘Vikrant Rona’ but is also known nationwide for his performances in SS Rajamouli’s ‘Eega’ and ‘Baahubali: The Beginning,’ apart from his many other hits. Pandit himself is now an expert curator of talent and has successfully left his impact on Hindi, Gujarati, and Marathi industries. So confident is he about the success of ‘Kabzaa’ that he has also acquired the movie’s Hindi, Telugu, and Marathi rights. The film is produced by Anand Pandit, R. Chandru and Alankar Pandian and also stars Murali Sharma, Sunil Puranik, Posani Krishna Murali, and Pramod Shetty and its long-awaited trailer will be released on March 4th.
