Vivian Dsena and Eisha Singh
âLaughter Chefs Unlimited Entertainment' returns with a louder, wilder, and spicier kitchen. This season packs a powerhouse line-up in one fiery rasoi with Bharti Singh bringing her iconic wit, Chef Harpal Singh Sokhi steering the madness, and a cast ready to spark mayhem including Debinna Bonnerjee, Gurmeet Choudhary, Eisha Singh, Vivian Dsena, Abhishek Kumar, Samarth Jurel, Elvish Yadav, Isha Malviya, Kashmera Shah, Krushna Abhishek, Aly Goni and Jannat Zubair. Vivian gets candid, admitting that Laughter Chefs is his comeback round, this time with pans and food to win everyone's hearts.
Vivian reveals what made him agree to the show, "I wanted to do something lighter this time. I've been the intense guy all my career - it was time to switch gears to comedy. So, Laughter Chefs felt like the right kind of mess, just me in a kitchen, figuring things out as they happen. It's unpredictable, it's goofy, and it lets me breathe a little."
Vivian was a part of the show as a guest in the previous season, "Honestly, it feels great! The last time I entered the Laughter Chefs' kitchen for a task with Rubina and Rahul, I thought it'd be a quick in-and-out. Instead, it was loud, messy, completely unplanned - yet somehow we were laughing through all of it. So, when they asked me to join this season as a proper contestant, I didn't think twice. And now that I'm living it, it's a hundred times more chaotic than it looked from the outside - but also a hundred times more fun. You bond over tiny disasters, last-minute saves, and laughing at your own blunders. Waking up early to shoot this doesn't feel like work at all. I look forward to trying out something new and exciting, putting my decent cooking skills to use."
On working with Eisha Singh, Vivian Dsena shared, "Eisha and I have known each other for a while, so there's already comfort and understanding that makes working together easy. She understands my sannata, and I tolerate her million questions quite well. She knows that I'm decent at cooking, and so she trusts my instincts. Somehow, I end up doing most of the actual cooking. It's become our running joke on set. In the middle of all that banter, our teamwork just automatically kicks in."
On cooking in Laughter Chefs 3, Vivian revealed, "I've cooked all my life - hostel days, bachelor days, I've handled my fair share of kitchens. But cooking in front of cameras, noise all around, and everyone trolling each other every two minutes⦠that's a whole different sport. This is my first brush with comedy, and I'm learning to navigate a new genre while strengthening my connection with the audience in a completely different way. A crash course in comedy, cooking, and not taking everything too seriously."
He then concluded, "I'd say just watch the show for what it is, pure dinnertainment. We're all cooking, learning, and dealing with whatever comes our way. It's real, it's a bit messy, but it's honest. You'll see a different side of everyone, including me. So, if you laugh with us or at us, that's fine. I just hope you enjoy the experience as much as we're trying to make it worth your time."
