Throwback to once madly-in-love couple, Vivian Dsena and Vahbiz Dorabjee's divorce battle and alimony settlement.
Vivian Dsena is the quintessential handsome hunk of the television world who has made many girls go weak in their knees. His role as a vampire in the popular show, Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahani, made him a star overnight. He was one of the most sought-after actors in the television world and was later seen in shows like Madhubala -Ek Ishq Ek Junoon, Shakti—Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki, and Sirf Tum.
While Vivian enjoyed a large female fan base, he lost his heart to actress Vahbiz Dorabjee. The two met during the shoot of the show, Pyaar Kii Ye Ek Kahani. They eventually became friends and fell in love. In 2013, they tied the knot; however, in 2016, the duo separated. Despite parting their ways, the couple got legally divorced in 2021.
Did you know that Vivian and Vahbiz’s divorce was not smooth? It is alleged that she demanded a huge alimony, which turned the divorce battle ugly and took years to finalise. Read on to learn more.
When Vivian and Vahbiz announced their separation, there were many conjectures. Some stated that Vahbiz was quite possessive of her husband, because of which he hardly had any female friends in the industry. Reports stated that it was her possessiveness that led to their split.
Many reports also stated that jealousy was one of the prime reasons for Vivian and Vahbiz’s separation, as he was a very successful actor, but her career dipped after marriage. In a throwback interview, Vahbiz rubbished the reports and said:
“After we got married, I decided to give time to my husband and marriage rather than spend long hours at work. So, it was a conscious decision to not focus on my career at that time. There was no question of feeling demotivated because I was Vivian's biggest support at that point. The fact that we are not together has nothing to do with his career or mine. When you are married, you don't feel insecure about your husband's success; you will actually be proud of it."
It has been stated that Vivian and Vahbiz’s divorce took a long time to get finalised, and the reason behind the same was her demand for a huge alimony. Yes, it is reported that Vahbiz reportedly asked for Rs. 2 crores as an alimony for her divorce settlement. In an interview with HT Café, Vahbiz once addressed the reports of alimony and said:
“A wife can rightfully ask for 20% of her husband’s wealth but I don’t want to comment on what I have asked for or what he wants. I am surprised at these kinds of reactions as if this is the first celebrity couple divorce. Why are people so astonished about alimony?"
In the same interview, Vahbiz also indirectly hinted about the compensation and revealed how people questioned her demand for money from Vivian. In her words:
“It's not like I have arbitrarily asked for anything, it is the court which decides what is right and what is not right. The court will do justice. Secondly, if the court case has been pending for three years, there must be a big reason behind it. Isn't it? Has that thought crossed anyone's mind? The thing is that people made their own assumptions regarding our divorce. Why be unfair to one party? Many are of the opinion that why is she asking for money when she is from a well-to-do family? Let me clarify, it is not about the money, it is about justice and the court will decide."
Vivian Dsena and Vahbiz Dorabjee’s legal battle took four years to resolve, and in 2021, they were legally granted divorce. After their divorce, Vivian found love again and got married to an Egyptian girl named Nouran Aly. The couple has a daughter, too. On the other hand, Vahbiz is still single.
