It might be a past but Vivek Oberoi is still scared to cross paths with Salman Khan. Believe it or not but in a recent incident, Vivek Oberoi locked himself in his vanity van for as long as 75 minutes just to avoid coming face to face with Salman Khan. And the actor only emerged from his hiding place once Salman left the shooting venue.

According to sources, Vivek had just finished performing for a show and retreated to his van to change before leaving. Salman also showed up at the venue and was seen chatting with his friends just a few metres away before going on stage for the grand finale. On spotting Salman, Vivek’s pals rushed to his van to tell him about the actor’s presence. And that’s when Vivek decided to lock himself up in his van. Even though he was in a hurry to go partying with his friends but for over an hour the actor was put in his van just so that he doesn’t cross Salman’s way.

Confirming the news, a source said, “Only when Salman left to perform did Vivek emerge from his van. Obviously the same thoughtful aides played watchdog and gave him the green signal when the road was clear.” Well, looks like Vivek knows how to keep a low profile…or is it a case of no profile.

The most beautiful actress Aishwarya Rai will be seen acting with her ex-boyfriend Vivek Oberoi once again. After Kyun Ho Gaya Na, both of them will be seen together after a long gap for Satish Kaushik new movie ‘Tansen’.

“Tansen” is a multi million project where Abhishek and Aishwarya will play the lead role. So if Aish and Abhishek are paired opposite each other, what role is offered to Vivek?? That’s the question, well !

The film’s shooting is set to begin in the mid of June, preferably in a foreign location. Source

After a supporting role in KURBAAN that saw good appreciation coming the way of Vivek Oberoi, its an altogether different ballgame for the actor now with PRINCE ready to unleash in a few hours from now. With fast moving vehicles, hot babes, non stop thrills and some smart dialogues ruling the roost, Vivek can well be expected to have had fun in this adrenalin pumping Bondisque setup.

“That was indeed the case”, says Vivek who is going all out to promote PRINCE which could well be his comeback vehicle, “The film has been a dream come true for me. I can proudly say that by far, it has been one of the best experiences of my life. I have always yearned to do a fast paced action thriller with slick values and an entertaining script. In each of these aspects, PRINCE has far exceeded my expectations.”

One still waits to see how the final product indeed turns out to be. Yes, it’s a known fact that first time director Kookie Gulati comes with some very strong background when it comes to making music videos. However, making a film is an altogether different ballgame. So, what is it in him that sets Kookie apart from many newcomer directors who announce their arrival? More

The prince, Vivek Oberoi is extremely excited after meeting spiritual leader Dalai Lama at an inter-faith conference at Rishikesh Saturday. “So honoured and excited to meet and receive grace and blessings of so many spiritual leaders of all religions! Most excited about meeting His Highness Dalai Lama!” Vivek posted on his Twitter page.

“Am in the midst of pure divinity by the banks of the holy Ganga, basking in the infectious laughter of HH Dalai lama, blessings of Morari Bapu, the august presence of Baba Ramdev and hundreds of saints from all religions coming together for the root of all religions – love and peace,” the 33-year-old added.

The actor was in New Delhi early morning before he drove to Rishikesh for the inter-faith conference, where all religious and spiritual leaders have come together to promote peace.

“Hats off to Swami Chidanand Saraswati of Inter-Faith organisation for bringing together leaders from Sikhism, Buddhism, Jainism, Islam, Christianity and Hinduism,” Vivek posted. Source

Our reliable sources reveal that during the shooting of Kookie Gulati’s ‘Prince’, actor Vivek Oberoi came close to his leading lady Aruna Shields and the crew members are the witness of their closeness. They got closer after an intimate kissing scene. After the shot, the intimacy between them got stronger and they were very often spotted on and off the set.

Vivek Oberoi’s closeness was also seen with another co-star Neeru Bajwa but he was more intimate with Aruna.

Aruna hails from the UK and after the film shoot, she retuned to UK. But news is that she will be back once the film release date draws near. Now only after her return, we will able to judge how  strong Vivek-Aruna’s bond is. Source

New Year has many surprises for everyone in Bollywood. Vivek Oberoi and Akshay Kumar are becoming thick friends these days. Yesterday, the two bonded over some good Punjabi lunch at the Mehboob studios where Akshay was shooting for his upcoming film PATIALA HOUSE.  Actually, Vivek Oberoi has a new obsession these days. The actor is so attached with his new Ducati bike that he makes it a point to ride it wherever he goes. The meeting with Akshay Kumar too was in connection with his new machine.

Says Vivek, “I met Akshay Kumar and we shared some great food and conversation around my new bike. Akshay is also fond of bikes and when he heard that I have got the latest Ducati, he wanted to check it out. Today, I was also shooting nearby so I decided to show him my latest possession and he really admired it.”

This bonding between Akshay Kumar and Vivek Oberoi points to a new friendship in the making in B-Town. Well, though the two bonded over their passion for bikes, but will the two bond over for some big hit too? Let’s watch out for that. Source

In this small world Aishwarya Rai has had two encounters with as many ex beaus in a span of few days. As reported earlier, she found herself face to face with Salman Khan while shooting at a Mumbai studio. Now, on Saturday, she was seated just an arm’s distance away from Vivek Oberoi at a Mumbai police event named ‘Jashn 2010-Dhamaka Bollywood Ka’.

Ash was seated in the first row at the function. Shockingly, the organizers had placed Vivek’s seat very close to Ash. There was only one seat between the two. Vivek was obviously hesitant to sit there, but relented after persuasion by the organizers. On top of it, Manish Malhotra, who was supposed to be seated between Ash and Vivek wasn’t on his seat. So when Vivek took his seat, there was an evident discomfort between Ash and him.

We hear that Ash even looked at Vivek for a split second. Vivek too turned and looked at her. Both of them were uncomfortable. But the drama didn’t last long. Manish Malhotra, who had perhaps sensed their discomfort, rushed back to his seat. Vivek still wasn’t comfortable, after a few minutes he left his seat. Source

Now don’t get us wrong, it’s not like the actor’s seeing two women at the same time. Rather, Vivek Oberoi is practicing to write with both his hands!

Why’s that you ask? Well, that’s because the actor plays an ambidextrous man in his next film Prince — It’s Showtime, and wanted to perfect the way it looks on screen.

“I had white boards in my home and two markers. I would wake up in the mornings and would start writing simultaneously on it, so it looks great when you’re shooting these sequences,” says Vivek. Source

We all know that Vivek Oberoi begged many a times for an apology from Salman Khan who has always given him cold shoulder. But the Kurbaan lad seems no more in mood to befriend the miffed Khan. In a recent conversation with Koel Puri he says, “I am done with apologising.”

The actor is also claims that he is not afraid Salman’s physical strength over and states that should there be a fight between the two, he will hold his ground against Khan. Doesn’t that sound like an invitation to fight? Here are excerpts from the chat that airs on November 28 on Headlines Today.

Koel: I watched your recent interview with Farah and in context to Salman you said, ‘hum mard ki tarah ek dosare ko mar sakte hai, mere bhi do haath hai… and all this. If you actually got into a fisticuffs with him, who would win?

Vivek: Umm…I really don’t know, I mean it kinda sounds like the expected answer would be obviously the brawn man. But umm… it doesn’t really work that way. I mean, I’ve had my share of fights and I think I can hold my own. I don’t think it’s about a size of a bicep, it’s the intent and speed of a fist hitting a vital point that determines a fight. More

You won’t believe it but this is the fact. In Saif-Kareena’s Kurbaan, it is Vivek Oberoi all the way. The young actor, who started his career with a bang in Ram Gopal Verma’s ‘Company’, has hogged all limelight playing a stellar role. Interestingly the details about his role in the film were kept under wraps until its release.

One to watch out for in the movie, Vivek has impressed one and all. The actor who made some memorable roles in films like ‘Saathiya’, ‘Yuva’ and ‘Shoot Out at Lokhandwala’, should be thanking his stars for bagging a plum role in ‘Kurbaan’.

“Terrorism is the worst issue being faced by all over the world. I am doing a very important role in Kurbaan,” he says.

Buzz is that Vivek is hoping to scale heights with a lineup of impressive films under production – ‘Prince’ and ‘Raktha Charithra’, produced and directed by his mentor Ram Gopal Varma. Source

Though Vivek Oberoi is a part of upcoming film ‘Kurbaan’, promos feature only Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor. Director Rensil D`Silva says his role is so deeply affiliated to the plot`s suspense that if exposed too much, it can give away the story. The director discussed the problem with Vivek.

“I`ve spoken to Vivek and explained the dilemma. He was cool with not being featured in the promos that much. He said to do whatever is right for the film because when the film opens the truth about the extent of his role will be out,” D`Silva told reporters. “Vivek has worked very hard in the film. He had to acquire a true New Yorker`s accent and not the kind Indians get at the John F. Kennedy airport. We had a couple of New Yorkers on the sets to coach him.

D`Silva shoots down the rumours that Vivek has a cameo in ‘Kurbaan’?

“Not true at all. Vivek is in 80 percent of the film. He`s central to the drama. He was in my room in Philadelphia every night to discuss his diction, dialogues and looks. I see his career at the cusp of something really exciting,” said the director. Source

His bonding with Ramu is back in this upcoming flick. Vivek Oberoi is preparing well for his role in Ram Gopal Varma’s upcoming film, Rakta Charitra, which will have Vivek playing Paritala Ravi.

The role requires him to grow his hair and beard. He plans to step out of the house only when his beard is all grown to see if people recognize him.

Vivek is so serious about his role that he is planning to meet Naxalites in Chattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Judging by Ramu and Vivek’s past record, let’s see how well that movie turns out! Source
