Meet actor who became an overnight sensation with a Falguni Pathak music video; worked with Shah Rukh, Aamir Khan and suffered from depression

As a lifestyle expert, I must say that Vivan Bhathena’s journey is one that resonates with many of us who have dared to dream big and faced adversities along the way. From gracing our screens in Chak De India alongside Shah Rukh Khan to stealing hearts in Falguni Pathak‘s Maine Payal Hai Chhankai, Vivan’s career has been a rollercoaster ride.


Picture the fortune of landing a breakthrough role like Chak De India, starring Shah Rukh Khan – it’s hard to imagine luckier. Remarkably, the actor we’re discussing today not only experienced this serendipity but also appeared in films such as Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Karthik Calling Karthik, Talaash, Hero, and even starred in Aamir Khan’s Dangal. At one point, he was an unavoidable presence on screen, however, despite his success, he never had the opportunity to claim any major title.

Today’s trivia question: Remember the charismatic gentleman who captured our hearts in Falguni Pathak’s popular video “Maine Payal Hai Chhankai”? When he made an appearance, social media was abuzz searching for this heartthrob. Have you figured him out yet? Don’t worry if not, we are referring to the one-time sensation, Vivan Bhathena. Admit it, even us guys couldn’t help but appreciate his handsome looks!

Vivan’s career on television and OTT platforms was much more prominent than his film roles, earning him a wide fanbase. He appeared in popular series like Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi, Kumkum, Maayka, Pyaar Ka Bandhan, and the reality show Khatron Ke Khiladi 7.

During the lockdown period, Bhathena experienced a significant decline in his life, reaching one of the toughest phases he’s ever faced. Vivan shared with Hindustan Times, “I can’t hide the truth – it was hard. I struggled with periods of depression.” Being a new father at that time, he found taking care of the baby challenging due to financial difficulties. Despite job opportunities being available, not securing one added to his frustration.

Following the pandemic, the actor’s career experienced a significant boost, and OTT platforms provided him with a lifeline. Vivan graced several web series such as Kafas, Mumbai Meri Jaan, Raisinghani vs Raisinghani, and a Jio Cinema film titled Bloody Daddy. We eagerly anticipate seeing what more this charming actor has in store for us.
