Why These Stars Are Leaving Laughter Chefs 3

Scheduling Conflicts & Other Priorities

A central reason for the exits appears to be professional scheduling clashes. Many celebrities in the show have other upcoming commitments — from films and TV dramas to brand endorsements — which overlap with the show’s shooting dates

Vivian Dsena’s New TV Project

Vivian Dsena officially stepped away from Laughter Chefs Season 3 to concentrate on a brand-new fiction series being developed by Colors TV. According to sources, he spent recent weeks in pre-production meetings and acting workshops for this new show, which is expected to be revealed in the coming months.

This indicates that personal career growth and future projects are a priority for several cast members — and not internal conflict on the show.
