Actor Sonam Kapoor and her husband, businessman Anand Ahuja, welcomed their second son on March 29. The couple announced the arrival of their baby boy on Instagram. In the post, the 40-year-old actor said their family has grown, and their hearts feel fuller than ever. She added that their elder son, Vayu, is thrilled to have a baby brother.

The caption of her post read, “Our family has grown, and with his arrival, our hearts have expanded in the most beautiful way. Vayu is overjoyed to welcome his little brother, and we feel deeply blessed by this precious new life who has filled our home with happiness and grace (sic).”

She ended the post saying they were thankful to start this new phase together as a family of four.

Sonam who Anand in an intimate Punjabi ceremony in May 2018 welcomed their first child, Vayu, in 2022, and since then, the actor has been taking a break from films but has remained active in public events and gatherings with friends and colleagues.

Actor Vivian Dsena and his wife, Egyptian journalist Nouran Aly, also welcomed a baby boy recently.

Vivian shared the update on Instagram on Monday, saying he had been “a little off the radar” for a reason. “Some stories aren’t announced, they’re lived first… The kingdom just got bigger… and this time… it’s a Prince,” he wrote.

Vivian married Nouran in a private ceremony in 2022. He is also father to their daughter Layan, born the same year, and has two stepdaughters from Nouran’s previous marriage.

Nouran Aly, a former journalist and wife of Vivian Dsena, recently flew from Bahrain to Mumbai to support the actor, who is inside the Bigg Boss house. In an exclusive interview with us, she shares, “This is the first time we are dealing with staying apart for so long. Usually, we visit each other or at least connect virtually every day, so it feels strange and tough. Since he’s entered the house, I’ve come to appreciate even more how much he takes care of us.”

The actor’s penchant for cleanliness, often discussed on the show, is no exaggeration, says Nouran. She adds, “He’s meticulous about keeping things spotless, especially his washroom. Early in our marriage, he didn’t like me using it. But over time, he realized I’m just as particular. We didn’t have much time to understand each other before tying the knot; my culture doesn’t allow live-in relationships, and our courtship was brief. Marriage became our way of discovering each other’s habits and quirks. It took us nearly six months to adjust to one another.”

Addressing allegations that Vivian cheated on his ex-wife (Vahbiz Dorabjee) with her, she sets the record straight and says, “They began living separately in 2016, and I met him two years later for work. So, how could he have cheated on her? Their divorce was already underway, delayed further by COVID. During this time, he was in talks with my family. We got engaged and eventually married in December 2022. The timelines don’t support these rumours.”

The actor’s choice to embrace Islam sparked speculation, with some attributing it to his wife’s influence. She states, “When he first proposed, I declined because of our cultural differences. I didn’t want him to feel pressured to adopt my faith. His decision to convert was entirely his own, and something he thought through deeply.”

Nouran recently faced backlash for allegedly calling Karan Veer Mehra a “junior artiste” on the reality show. She clarifies, “The comment was taken out of context. I was recounting an incident to warn Vivian that Karan had once referred to him as a junior artiste indirectly. I respect junior artistes immensely; no project can succeed without them. Unfortunately, the edit made it seem like I was dismissive of Karan.”

Vivian’s introduction as the laadla of Bigg Boss has sparked controversy, with many believing he receives undue favouritism on the show. Nouran shares, “It’s a label that could undermine his efforts. Even if he wins on merit, people might dismiss it as favouritism. My only concern is that this perception could overshadow his dedication. Vivian’s loyalty to the channel spans 12 years, which is uncommon in this industry. Every season has a channel favourite; this time, they’ve simply chosen to acknowledge it openly.”

Speaking about Vivian’s decision to keep his second marriage and family private, Nouran says, “Vivian is protective, not controlling. He’s learnt from past experiences. The exposure to his previous relationship played a hand in ruining it. He prefers to keep our personal lives private to shield us from unnecessary scrutiny. Once you step into the public eye, you’re exposed to judgment and trolling about your appearance, faith, and past — something I’ve experienced since appearing on Bigg Boss. Initially, it affected me deeply; I would cry and feel overwhelmed. However, I’ve learnt to handle it.”

Those who know the actor will vouch that fatherhood has transformed him. On the reality show, he revealed he is a proud father of three daughters. She shares, “I have two daughters, Layla (11) and Aliaa (9), from my previous marriage. I married a family friend, a doctor, at the age of 22. However, our relationship began falling apart within six months due to irreconcilable differences. After my second pregnancy, I sought a divorce, which took nearly three years to finalize.”

She adds, “Vivian has been an amazing father to my daughters. Initially, we agreed not to have a child of our own, but I felt it wouldn’t be fair to him. That’s when we planned Layan. There’s no distinction in his love for the three girls. In fact, he often spoils the older two more! They share a beautiful bond and affectionately call him ‘Buddy.’ My eldest cried when she saw someone threaten him on the reality show. She’s incredibly proud of him and never misses an opportunity to celebrate his achievements. Their connection is truly special and he is closest to her.”

It was last year when actor Vivian Dsena shared with the world that he embraced Islam in 2019. Now, he opens up about why Ramzan is a special time for him. 

“I embraced Islam during Ramzan, which is why the auspicious period is very close to my heart,” the 35-year-old tells us, adding, “This year marks my sixth Ramzan and by God’s grace, I have been fasting every year. I [try to] observe 30 days of roza unless there is something like an illness that makes me break the fast.”

The actor, who is married to Egyptian journalist Nouran Aly and has a daughter with her, adds that he tries to spend this time with his family in Bahrain.

“I can’t deny that I was initially worried about observing the fast because water and coffee are necessities for me; even my family and friends keep wondering how I manage to stay without water or caffeine for 13 or 14 hours! But God has been kind so far and my fasting journey has been smooth,” says Dsena.

Ask him to name a favourite Ramzan delicacy, and Dsena replies, “If I have to choose, it would be basbousa and kunafa. Otherwise, I love all kinds of home-cooked food. I’m blessed with a family and a wife who make every day of Ramzan a food festival.”

Before Aly, Dsena was married to actor Vahbiz Dorabjee for eight years. The couple got divorced in 2021.

While Vivian Dsena likes to keep his personal life out of the limelight, it has been speculated for a while that he married his girlfriend, Nouran Aly, a former journalist from Egypt, a year ago, and the couple has been blessed with a daughter, who is now two months old. The actor, who has otherwise been fiercely guarded about his personal life, opens up about it for the first time in an exclusive chat with Bombay Times.

He says, “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.”

Vivian says, “Becoming a father is a dream come true and the most wonderful feeling. I feel on top of the world each time I hold my baby in my arms. What more could I have asked for? We have named our daughter Layan Vivian Dsena.”

He adds, “I have always maintained that I want to keep my personal and professional lives separate. I don’t want my family in the limelight, and that’s something even Nouran doesn’t wish to be put through. I am extremely protective of my family.”

The actor also shares that he has been following Islam since 2019. “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,” he says.

Vivian was earlier married to actress Vahbiz Dorabjee; they divorced in 2021. On the work front, the actor was last seen in the TV show Sirf Tum, which ended in September last year. Currently, he is in talks to play the male lead in Seema and Sudhir Sharma’s next show.

Actor Vivian Dsena is a father, we have exclusively learned. The Madhubala actor, known for keeping his personal life private, recently made headlines for his secret marriage (we reported it earlier this month) to his long-time partner, Nouran Aly, a citizen of Egypt. Now, it has come to light that the couple also has a two-month-old daughter, as confirmed by a source who has seen pictures of the baby. 

“It’s a girl and she’s almost two months old. Nouran often shares pictures of the baby with her close friends (a feature on Instagram, where one can share stories with a select crowd). I have seen pictures of them,” the source shares. One of Dsena’s former co-stars also confirmed the rumours on condition of anonymity. The actor, who declined to comment on the baby, revealed that “Nouran was a fan of Dsena and frequently visited our sets”.

The actor further adds, “Nouran was quite particular about the angles that Vivian shot for, what he was wearing, and other stuff.” 

However, despite repeated attempts, the Shakti actor did not respond to our messages regarding the baby. Prior to his marriage to Aly, Dsena was married to actor Vahbiz Dorabjee, from whom he got divorced on December 18, 2021.

Actor Vivian Dsena is a married man, we have learnt exclusively. From what we have gathered, the Madhubala actor got hitched to long-time partner, Nouran Aly, an Egyptian citizen, over a year ago. Dsena kept his marriage under wraps all this while.

A reliable source shares, “Vivian got married to Nouran in Egypt. They had an intimate ceremony.”

Another source close to Dsena shares, “The two have been living together for over a year. Vivian is too old-school to stay with someone out of wedlock.” The couple stays in an apartment in Lokhandwala, Mumbai.

When we reached out to the 34-year-old, he simply said, “Please contact my PR.” Dsena didn’t reply to any subsequent queries either. The actor’s publicity team refused to comment on the matter.

In the past, Dsena hinted that he would always keep his marriage a secret. In a 2022 interview, the Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahaani and Sirf Tum actor had said, “If I get married, chances are bleak that anyone would know about it. Marriage is a private matter and it should stay like that.”

Earlier, Dsena was married to actor Vahbiz Dorabjee. The two got divorced on December 18, 2021.

Love has a habit of often catching you unawares. That’s what happened to Vivian Dsena. Just days before he was granted divorce in December 2021, BT had exclusively reported about the Sirf Tum actor finding love again. We now have it that he is in a relationship with Nouran Aly, a former journalist from Egypt.

The two have been together for four-and-a-half-years. Vivian says that his failed marriage is a thing ofthe past, and he is looking forward to exchanging nuptial vows with Nouran. In an exclusive chat with BT, he opens up on matters ofthe heart.

The actor says, “Yes, I am in love with Nouran, and we are planning to settle down very soon. We first interacted around four-and-a-half years ago, when she contacted me for an interview. Sometime later, we became friends and soon fell in love. I think it took me only a month to realise that I was in love with her.”

While Vivian is known for guarding his privacy rather fiercely from the media, he confesses that he couldn’t help falling in love with the charming journalist. He shares, “She has a lot of patience and perseverance, which is much needed with me (laughs!).”

Vivian says, “While I admire those qualities about her, it was her honesty that attracted me the most. It is a rare quality in today’s time. I feel fortunate to have Nouran in my life. In fact, I was looking for a girl like her to settle down with. Maybe, she also likes a thing or two about me; that is why she is ready to make the mistake of spending her life with me (smiles).”

Uncannily enough, Nouran has always felt a strong connection with India. Talking to us for the first time, she says, “I have been in love with India since childhood. People in Egypt idolize Indian celebrities. I have lived most of my life in Bahrain and so, I know many Indians and have also been exposed to Indian culture. It was my love for the country and its actors that made me pursue an interview with him. He was supposed to come to Egypt for an event and that’s when I asked him for an interview. My first impression of him was, ‘What does he think of himself?’ When I told him that I can’t deal with someone like him, he replied, ‘I believe this person you described is not me. Please get to know me first.’ Well, getting to know him was a trap and I fell in love with him (laughs!).”

When Vivian was going through a rough patch in his personal life, Nouran was his pillar of support. Acknowledging her role in helping him sail through difficult times, he says, “She didn’t let me take any impulsive decisions and was the reason for my emotional stability. She is the calming factor in my life. She understands even my silence.”

So, when do they plan to settle down? Vivian replies, “I don’t know when and how. It can happen anytime. I am not a social person, and I don’t have many friends. So, even if I get married, the chances are bleak that anyone would know about it. Marriage is a private matter and it should stay like that. Nouran, too, doesn’t want to be in the limelight just because she is married to me.”

Nouran adds, “When Vivian proposed to me and met my family, their first request was that I should not be hassled by his celebrity status. I want to be a homemaker and not an actor’s wife.”
