Veteran
actor
Suresh
Oberoi's
son
Vivek
Oberoi
entered
Boywood
in
2002
with
Ram
Gopal
Varma's
Company
and
won
many
hearts.
He
then
went
on
to
features
in
several
popular
films
like
Saathiya,
Yuva,
and
Masti
among
others
and
was
counted
among
the
most
promising
newcomers.
After
a
good
start,
his
career
went
downhill
as
he
started
dating
Aishwarya
Rai
and
went
against
Bollywood
superstar
Salman
Khan.
His
career
prospects
worsened
after
he
held
a
press
conference
addressing
his
issues
with
the
Tere
Naam
star.
In
the
2003
press
conference,
Vivek
accused
Salman
of
making
41
abusive
phone
calls
and
threatening
to
kill
him
due
to
his
closeness
with
Aishwarya.
However,
did
you
know
that
months
before
the
whole
controversy
related
to
Aishwarya,
Vivek
had
praised
Salman?
Interestingly,
in
the
same
interview,
he
even
called
Shah
Rukh
Khan
'arrogant'.
Yes,
you
read
that
right!
During
his
initial
days,
Vivek
was
called
the
next
Shah
Rukh
Khan
by
people.
Hence,
in
an
interview
back
then,
he
was
asked
about
his
wish
to
feature
in
SRK's
biopic.
Reacting
to
it,
Vivek
said,
"I
am
fascinated
by
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
He
is
brilliant.
Every
time
I
meet
him,
I
tease
him,
'Hello
God,
how
are
you?'
Gauri
(Shah
Rukh's
wife)
keeps
saying
'Stop
calling
him
that.
He
is
just
Shah
Rukh.'
Here's
a
guy
who
comes
from
nowhere,
has
no
connections
to
cinema
and
has
no
way
to
make
it
in.
On
his
beliefs
and
convictions,
he
enters
films,
marries
his
childhood
sweetheart,
rules
tinsel
town
and
walks
into
offices
and
tells
filmmakers
to
either
sign
him
now
or
regret
later."
Interestingly,
he
even
called
SRK
arrogant
and
added,
"I
do
not
idolise
Shah
Rukh.
I
am
fascinated
because
he
is
an
interesting
story.
He
has
an
interesting
career
graph.
He
won
the
award
for
the
best
actor
and
best
villain
in
the
same
year.
He
is
arrogant,
yet
he
is
also
the
humblest
person
around.
He
is
so
complex
and
interesting.
I
have
immense
respect
for
him.
I
am
in
awe
of
Shah
Rukh."
Talking
about
the
Maine
Pyar
Kiya
star,
he
stated,
"I
also
love
Salman,
Aamir
and
Amitabh
Bachchan."
Sadly,
the
press
conference
soured
things
between
Vivek
and
Salman.
Even
after
so
many
years,
nothing
has
yet
changed
between
them.
On
the
career
front,
Vivek
Oberoi
will
next
be
seen
in
Rohit
Shetty's
Amazon
Prime
Video
series
titled
Indian
Police
Force.
It
also
stars
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Shilpa
Shetty
Kundra.
