About Vivek Oberoi

Biography:

Vivek Oberoi was born in Mumbai and attended Mayo College in Ajmer. At an actors' workshop in London he was spotted by none other than the director of NYU who (unsurprisingly) whisked Vivek off to New York, where he completed his Masters Degree in film acting.

Vivek Oberoi debuted in Ram Gopal Varma's film Company. Next, he starred in Saathiya (2002) directed by Shaad Ali, and in the comedy Masti (2004). In 2004, he starred in Yuva. In 2005 he acted as title role in movie Kisna: The Warrior Poet.

In 2006, he appeared in Omkara, which was a commercial success. In 2007, he acted as the gangster Maya Dolas in the multi-starrer, Shootout at Lokhandwala.

In 2008, Vivek starred in a film called Mission Istanbul, which was directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Ekta Kapoor. In 2009 he co-starred in Kurbaan. In 2010, he appeared in Prince, which Box office India declared a flop. In the same year, he appeared in Ram Gopal Varma's Rakht Charitra.

Vivek is slated to play the lead role in the film, Bloody Paki that will be directed by Shaad Ali and Shiva and produced by Mani Ratnam. He will be now seen in Rakesh Roshan's Krrish 2.

Personal Life:

On 29 October 2010, Vivek Oberoi married Priyanka Alva, daughter of Karnataka minister Jeevaraj Alva, in Bangalore.

Before getting married to Priyanka he was dating Aishwarya Rai for a while.

Controversy:

In 2003, he called a press conference at his house, where he alleged that actor Salman Khan had been threatening him because of his close relations with Aishwarya Rai. Salman Khan denied these allegations. In 2007, he apologized to Salman Khan at the Rajiv Gandhi Awards function at the Jamshed Bhabha Theatre.

Later, in 2010, he again publicly apologized to Salman Khan through Star News, for calling that press conference, and called it an immature step of a 24 year old boy.
