Come
January,
Vivek
Oberoi
and
his
wife
Priyanka
Alva
will
be
off
to
the
Red
Sea
for
their
eco-friendly
honeymoon.
Responsible
tourists
Says
a
source
close
to
VO,
"Priyanka
and
her
family
have
always
supported
causes
that
help
protect
the
environment
and
ecosystem.
The
eco-conscious
couple
had
ensured
that
the
wedding
invite
and
the
bag
carrying
the
invite
were
made
from
handmade
herbs
and
that
the
scroll
was
made
from
100
per
cent
recycled
materials.
As
far
as
choosing
a
honeymoon
destination
was
concerned,
it
was
Priyanka
who
suggested
they
go
in
for
responsible
tourism."
Elaborating
on
'responsible
travel'
the
source
says,
"Vivek
and
Priyanka
are
going
to
the
Red
Sea
for
their
honeymoon.
Eco-friendly
companies
that
arrange
holidays
for
people,
use
a
certain
percentage
to
rehabilitate
ecologically
damaged
places
like
jungles
where
wildlife
is
endangered,
beaches
where
turtle
breeding
have
been
hampered
and
coral
reefs
that
are
dying
out.
The
couple
is
going
on
a
tour
organised
by
one
such
company."
Apparently,
Priyanka
likes
responsible
travel.
"Priyanka
brought
it
to
Vivek's
notice
that
one
could
be
environmentally
responsible
while
on
holiday
too.
Their
company
will
give
a
percentage
of
their
travel
fees
to
maintaining
beaches
and
marine
life.
Vivek
will
perform
for
New
Year
in
Dubai
and
then
take
a
yacht
in
the
middle
of
the
Red
Sea
to
spend
his
honeymoon."
Yeh
Kya!
Even
as
Vivek
Oberoi
is
busy
planning
his
honeymoon,
a
recent
story
on
a
TV
channel
has
left
him
and
his
family
feeling
disgusted.
Apparently,
the
channel
stated
that
the
actor
invited
them
to
cover
his
honeymoon
and
share
bedroom
secrets
at
a
huge
price.
A
source
close
to
VO
fumes,
"Vivek
has
always
been
very
protective
about
his
family
and
even
kept
his
wedding
a
private
affair.
How
could
he
invite
the
channel
for
his
honeymoon
in
return
for
money?
He
plans
to
send
a
legal
notice
to
the
channel.
“The
Oberois
are
extremely
hurt.
The
channel
even
put
up
the
story
on
Twitter
as
a
trending
topic.
If
the
channel
doesn't
respond
to
the
legal
notice,
VO
will
sue
for
defamation.
He
wants
to
send
a
strong
and
clear
message
that
his
family
is
off
limits!"
