By Anil Merani: Our TV industry is full of competitive friendships that often land you in a soup.
Bigg Boss 18 frontrunner Vivian Dsena’s better half, Nouran Aly, found out the same, much to her discomfort, when she reached out to tube colleagues, asking them to attend the grand finale to cheer her hubby.
Many actors she sounded out politely turned her down citing their equations with Vivain’s ex-wife Vahbbiz Dorabjee or BB 18 co-contestant Karanveer Mehra, who, like Vivan, is an old industry hand having good connections.
Privately, some also expressed disquiet about Vivian’s non-friendly attitude, which has turned many colleagues against the latter.
As per sources, Nouran reached out to Ravi Dubey, Rubina Dilaik, and Aly Goni, amongst others.
Vivian’s career of late has also taken a nose dive, so as it happens, things change socially as well.
Interestingly, such canvassing work is typically done by the PR agency, but Nouran is doing the heavy lifting here.
Eventually, Ankita Lokande’s husband Vicky Jain (BB 17) attended the shooting, (the chunk will be telecasts in the finale) .
It is quite a letdown for Vivian that someone not part of the industry had to be chosen to bat for him; the source also points out that Colors TV suggested Vicky Bhaiya’s name.
