Vivian DSena: Islam is really dear to my heart because I converted to it during Ramadan

It was precisely a year ago that Vivian Dsena announced to the world that he had converted to Islam. Now he talks candidly about keeping Ramadan. “I am really close to Ramadan because I have accepted Islam throughout this holy month. By the grace of God, I have been fasting during Ramadan every year for the past six years. We are required to fast for the full month of Ramadan because it is one of the five major pillars of Islam. Therefore, unless I have a valid reason to break the fast, like a medical condition, I do observe the 30-day period, the 35-year-old says.

Actress Vivian DSena discusses keeping a daily fast throughout Ramadan.

The actor, who is married to Nouran Aly, continues by saying he makes an effort to spend Ramadan in Bahrain with his family. It’s true that I was initially concerned about maintaining the fast because I need both coffee and water to function; in fact, my family and friends kept asking how I was going to last 13 or 14 hours without either. God has been good thus far, and my experience with fasting has gone fairly well, says DSena.

When you ask him what his favorite treat is at this time of year, he says, “I love food, especially home-cooked food and sweets.” Thank God, I have a family and a wife who turn every Ramadan meal into a culinary celebration, allowing me to sample and enjoy a wide variety of foods. If I had to pick only one, it would be the Kunafa and Basbousa.

Kamal Haasan writes note for fans, asks them to stop calling him Ulaganayagan; offers these options instead

Did you know Kamal Haasan was named Parthasarathy Srinivasan after his birth? The actor has now spoken about the titles he has received over the years.

Actor Kamal Haasan, who turned 70 a few days ago, has penned a note for his fans, asking them to call him by his name. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, Kamal also said that he feels “gratitude over being bestowed with endearing titles such as Ulaganayagan”.

Kamal moved by titles given to him

Kamal wrote, “Vanakkam, I have always felt a deep sense of gratitude over being bestowed with endearing titles such as Ulaganayagan, among others. Such accolades, given by the people and recognized by esteemed colleagues and admirers, has always been humbling, and I’ve been genuinely moved by your love in conferring it upon me.”

Actor calls himself student

“The art of cinema transcends beyond any one individual and I am but a student of the craft, forever hoping to evolve, learn and grow. Cinema, like any other form of creative expression, belongs to all. It is the collaboration of countless artists, technicians, and audience who make it what it is — a true reflection of humanity’s diverse, rich, and ever-evolving stories,” he added.

Kamal declines all titles

“It is my humble belief that the artist must not be elevated above the art. I prefer to remain grounded, constantly aware of my imperfections and my duty to improve. Hence, after considerable reflection, I feel compelled to respectfully decline all such titles or prefixes,” Kamal continued.

“I humbly request that all my fans, the media, members of film fraternity, party cadre and fellow Indians, to here on after, refer to me simply as Kamal Haasan or Kamal or KH. Thank you again for your gestures of kindness over the years. Please know that this decision comes from a place of humility and a desire to remain true to my roots and purpose, to always be one among all of us —the lovers of this beautiful artform,” he concluded his note.
