First TV Show

Personal Trainer

Vivian had a passion for sports and fitness since his early childhood. He started playing soccer/football from the age of 10 and even aspired to become a professional soccer player at one time.
He began working out from the age of 13-14 years which was years before boys in his hometown got drawn towards fitness or building their bodies.
Vivian confided in an interview that he was asked to look huge and muscular for the opening episode of Madhubala in 2012, but after 20 days, he was requested to lose weight particularly for a jail sequence. He nearly lost 14 kg in 32 days and radically altered his build.
The actor follows a straightforward approach to getting lean. Every time he needs to lose weight or gain lean muscle, he reduces his carbohydrate and sugar consumption and increases his protein intake.
He suffered a few grave injuries participating in a dance reality competition in 2015 and a stunt based reality game in 2016 which prevented him from lifting weights for nearly a year.
Fortunately for the actor, the role of Harman Singh he was cast to play in 2016, required him to gain some weight instead of maintaining a lean, shredded look.
In 2017, Vivian stated in an interview that he resumed training in the gym and usually wakes up early for a workout session before reporting for work. The actor trains under the supervision of good friend and personal trainer, Junaid Kaliwala who is also India’s first IFBB Pro Physique athlete.
