MUMBAI: Actor Vivian Dsena talks about his career, changes in the industry and his love for his fans.

What do you do to beat the heat?

I usually drink a lot of water. I drink lot of butter milk too. I also eat a lot of watermelons.

Are you particular about the colors you wear in summer?

No, not at all. I am only particular about drinking and eating. And obviously, if you stay in the sun for a longer period then you should not go into the air-conditioned area directly. It's a precautionary measure that I usually take.

What creativity means to you?

Satisfaction. I act as I love to be creative, to emote on camera. I live and thrive on my creativity.

How do you unwind? What is your me time?

My me-time is painting and spending time with myself

You are not a movie buff. You don't aspire to do Bollywood. why?

I love watching films. As far as acting goes, if you give me a Bollywood film and say that it will make my career and if you give me a TV soap which I like then I will choose the TV soap as I love it and I am attached to it. I believe there is no difference between TV and Bollywood today. I believe the only source of entertainment is Netflix.

Tell us about your love for food.
There are some people who eat to live but I am somebody who lives to eat. I am a big foodie but I love to eat at home mostly. I am somebody who lives life like every normal human being. It's not that I don't eat outside food. I stop at highways to drink and eat, I eat street food too. But due to star quotient sometimes we have to rush away from public places.

Do you cook?

I do cook. I always try to cook a meal once a week for my mother and my masi. I try to cook a lot of varieties of Khichidi as its light for the stomach and great for the summers. I cook paneer khichdi, spinach khichdi, our traditional khichdi.
