Vivek Oberoi, a familiar name in the Indian film industry, is known for his versatility and charm. Despite being born into the glitz of Bollywood as Suresh Oberoi's son, Vivek decided to carve his path and establish himself in the industry.
His debut came in Ram Gopal Varma's acclaimed gangster drama, "Company," alongside actors like Ajay Devgn and Mohanlal. Following this, he featured in another RGV film, "Road," and then took a different turn with Shaad Ali's romantic flick, "Saathiya." In a recent interview, Vivek shared the challenges he faced during the filming of "Saathiya," including changing clothes in restaurant washrooms and sleeping on benches due to budget constraints.
Reflecting on those days, Vivek reminisced about shooting at railway stations and facing budget limitations. Despite advice against doing a romantic film, he took on the role in "Saathiya" because he loved the script and wanted to work with director Shaad Ali.
In the interview, Vivek also opened up about the dark phases in his life and drew parallels with the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput. He expressed empathy for Sushant, emphasizing the importance of seeking support during challenging times. Vivek shared a poignant moment from Sushant's funeral, where he witnessed the pain in the eyes of Sushant's father, reinforcing the message of the impact such decisions can have on loved ones.
Vivek Oberoi's filmography extends beyond romantic and action genres, including notable films like "Kaal," "Omkara," "Shootout at Lokhandwala," and "Krrish 3." He also portrayed the lead role in the biopic "PM Narendra Modi."
Recently, Vivek Oberoi was seen in the Amazon Prime Video web series "Indian Police Force," a spinoff from Rohit Shetty's cop universe. The series, featuring a stellar cast including Shilpa Shetty, Sidharth Malhotra, and Isha Talwar, marked another milestone in Vivek's diverse career. Vivek Oberoi continues to evolve as an actor, showcasing resilience and determination in the ever-evolving landscape of the Indian entertainment industry.
