Vivek's
first
emcee
gig
was
a
public
apology
for
past
mistake.
Vivek
Oberoi
hosted
the
Stardust
Awards
on
Sunday
night
at
the
MMRDA
grounds
in
Bandra.
The
theme
of
his
act
was
not
humour
by
forgiveness.
In
typical
Vivek
fashion,
the
actor
apologised
to
the
film
industry
for
his
past
mistakes.
Says
a
source
connected
to
the
show,
"Vivek
was
to
recite
a
'sorry'
poem
to
the
live
audience
in
front
of
all
the
people
of
the
film
fraternity.
But
because
of
a
technical
glitch,
that
couldn't
happen.
Later,
that
night,
the
poem
was
shot
especially
for
the
TV
telecast
on
February
6.
"
A
source
close
to
Vivek
says,
"The
organisers
had
a
great
gag
weaved
into
the
script
which
ran
through
the
entire
show.
It
was
a
funny
way
of
saying
sorry.
Vivek
feels
that
the
way
of
attaining
true
happiness
is
when
you
can
learn
to
laugh
at
yourself.
It's
very
hard
but
VO
didn't
want
to
go
out
there
and
be
mean
and
rude
to
B-Town.
He
has
been
at
the
receiving
end
of
cruel,
hurtful
jokes
and
knows
how
humiliating
it
can
be.
He
told
the
organisers
that
he'd
rather
make
fun
of
himself.
It
was
his
way
of
making
up
to
B-Town
through
a
very
witty
script."
The
source
adds,
"When
there
was
a
technical
glitch,
VO
was
amazed
at
the
support
and
love
evident
in
the
people
present.
It
was
his
baptism
by
fire." He
did
a
super
job
of
entertaining
the
crowds
despite
the
glitch.
He
went
down
the
stage
with
the
mike
and
started
asking
people
silly
questions.
Since
it
was
his
first
time
compering,
the
organisers
felt
he
might
get
flustered
but
he
carried
on
like
a
pro."
Vivek
adds,
"Prior
to
the
show,
I
was
very
nervous
but
I
got
great
support.
Especially,
my
co-host
(Mirza).
Dia
has
hosted
before
and
I
used
to
call
her
guruji
during
rehearsals.
In
fact,
when
she
was
in
Delhi
before
the
show
she
called
me
up
to
ask
me
what
I
was
wearing.
She
didn't
like
my
choice
so
she
picked
up
my
outfit
from
Rohit
and
Rahul
and
carried
it
back
for
me.
It
was
a
perfect
fit."
