Vivian has known her for more than four years and is planning to settle down with her. In an interview, he openly expressed his love life and said,
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. I made her wait for around three months before giving my nod to it. Later, my management team called her for work in Mumbai and I met her here. We started off as friends but fell in love quickly. I think it took me only a month to realise that I was in love with her.”
Reportedly, it was rumoured that Vivian Dsena and Garima Jain started dating while shooting for their show ‘Shakti -Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki’, where Garima Jain was playing the character of Vivian’s sister. But the relationship didn’t survive and the couple broke up in a few months. Garima left the show after breaking up with Vivian. In an interview, when asked about his breakup with Garima, Vivian said,

Vivian was linked up with his co-actor, Amrita Prakash from the show, ‘Shakti – Astitva Ke Ehsaas Ki’, where she was playing the role of Jasleen Kaur, the childhood friend and fiance of Harman (Vivian) onscreen. Both shared a great equation on the first day of the shoot and got close to each other. However Vivian denied any relationship with Amrita and said,
“We are very good friends. I would say, we are like two boys on the sets as she is very tomboyish. In my career, I have hardly ever been extremely pally or friendly with my co-actors. So, obviously a lot of eyebrows were raised on the sets when we became friendly. Everyone wondered, ‘kya ho raha hai? Why are they so friendly with each other. I get along with her as she has no hang-ups, is chilled out and most importantly very professional. We both know what’s the truth “.
