In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Vivek’s father Suresh Oberoi hailed his son and mentioned,” It is his strength that he got through this. If it was someone else, they would have become an alcoholic or perhaps a drug addict. People were really against him. Media, and the people in the film industry, even the actors… sometimes when people get successful very quickly, others can’t take it.”
After his infamous fight with Salman Khan, the industry turned its back towards him. Vivek in one of his interviews said that he was jobless for 14 months and it was the most frustrating time for him.
Expressing the gratitude Vivek in one of his interview had said, ” I’m glad that I emerged from that. I kind of came up through the trial by fire and survived it. But not everybody’s going be that lucky.”
He further added that how the time of being jobless was frustrating, “In hindsight, I went through a lot of stuff that was unnecessary. A lot of lobbies, a lot of repressive stories – kind of what Priyanka has been alluding to also. That’s been a hallmark of our industry, unfortunately. It’s been one of the dark sides of our industry. And I’ve been on the receiving end of it. I know how frustrating it is, it can make one feel extremely, exhausted and tired. You feel like, I’ve just delivered an award winning, commercially successful performance in Shoot out Lokhandwala and after that, I’m sitting at home for 14 months, not getting any work”.
