The actor added that he converted to Islam during Ramadan in 2019. Dsena had stepped away from the spotlight for a long time and speculations were rife regarding his conversion to Islam. The actor confirmed his conversion in the latest interview.
Talking to the Bombay Times, he said, “Nothing much has changed in my life. I was born Christian, and I follow Islam now. I started following Islam during the holy month of Ramadan in 2019. I find a lot of peace and solace in praying five times a day. So, here I put all the unsought speculations to rest.”
Vivian Dsena confirmed his marriage to an Egyptian woman. The couple has a four-month daughter too. In the same interview he said, “Yes, I am married and have a four-month-old daughter. What’s the big deal about it, and how is this anyone’s concern? We would have announced the news of my marriage and the arrival of my daughter, but when I thought the time was right, I tied the knot with Nouran in an intimate ceremony in Egypt around a year ago.”
