Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi had started their career around the same time. While it was in year 2000 when Hrithik had debuted with a romantic action drama KAHO NAA PYAAR HAI, Vivek was happy being ‘Chandu’ for Ram Gopal Varma in underworld saga COMPANY (2002).Though they have been friends for long, it would be for the first time with KRRISH 2 that they would be seen together.

“Hrithik has been a good friend over the years and it is fabulous to be finally working with him,” says Vivek in a glad tone, “Somehow we never got an opportunity to be working together but now after almost a decade this is finally happening. I am glad.” More

Sanjay Dutt and Arshad Warsi, who are part of two franchises already, MUNNABHAI and DHAMAAL, would now be seen in a dramatic thriller titled ZILLA GHAZIABAD. This is not all as the film would also feature Vivek Oberoi who earlier locked horns with Sanjay in SHOOTOUT AT LOKHANDWALA earlier.

Confirms an industry source, “Yes, the film is happening for sure. It deals with politics and mafia as prevalent in Ghaziabad (Uttar Pradesh). Though there have been quite a films set in mafia of Mumbai and some have even explored the underbelly of Delhi, not many films have stepped in this part of the country. ZILLA GHAZIABAD would be reflecting the current socio-political situation there.” More

Vivek Oberoi is being every bit a hero for his wife Priyanka. Now married for a few months already, he appreciates the fact that the woman in his life is making it all just so perfect and complete.

“I have to agree on this,” Vivek turns all moony eyed here, “The kind of peace and the comfort feel I get when Priyanka is around is so soothing. She has brought just the kind of stability I needed in my life. A life partner is the one you need to bring you on the right path and in this aspect Priyanka has done so well in giving my life the kind of balance and stability that was required.”

Taking about his every day plans with his wife, Vivek gushes, “When I return from work, I look forward to a nice evening with her and my family. We have been going out on holidays together and though they may not be overtly flashy or extravagant, they bring us further together.” More

Why did Salman withdrew from IIFAA at the last moment. Sources say that Salman’s cancellation had largely to do with the fact that actor Shah Rukh Khan had suggested that actor Vivek Oberoi be the co-host of the party that he’s hosting for the IIFA delegates.

Khan and Oberoi have been at loggerheads ever since he accused Khan of threatening his (then) girlfriend Aishwarya Rai (now Bachchan). Even though Oberoi has repeatedly apologised to Khan after that, he has maintained a clear distance from him.

When asked if it was Shah Rukh’s decision to include Oberoi as co-host for the party, our source said, “Nothing can happen without Shah Rukh’s approval. It’s not a surprise party. The party was organised with the consent of everybody as it is an official event.” Source

Vivek Oberoi has been selected to play the villain in Rakesh Roshan’s forthcoming film, Krrish 3. The role demanded “an ultra-cool, stylish person. He is intelligent, edgy, witty, smart and evil – somewhat like the Joker in the Batman series.”

Hritihik Roshan plays three characters in the film – a father, son and grandson. If possible, he would have played the role of a villain as well, but his father (and director of the film) was adamant that the role of the bad guy be played by Vivek Oberoi. Sources say that Ajay Devgn was also one of the contenders for the role. Rakesh says that since Hrithik was already playing three roles, it was impossible for him to also play the antagonist. More

Vivek Oberoi, who kick started his Tinsel Town journey with a big splash is finding newer ways to revamp his career. The talented yet troubled actor has decided not to work in Vishesh Film’s latest production. He was happy with the script but was keener to work with Hrithik Roshan in ‘Krissh 3’.

Talking to a tabloid, a source revealed, “Vivek heard out the Bhatts. He quite liked the role. But he had a problem. Vivek is very excited about Rakesh Roshan`s next, Krrish 3.”

Junior Oberoi, who self-destroyed his blooming stardom in B-town by rubbing Salman Khan the wrong way has now teamed up with Hrithik Roshan.

HR and Sallu’s relationship turned sour when the latter criticized Hrithik’s film ‘Guzarish’ directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Salman and SLB were one thickest of friends in the industry.

Apparently junior Roshan and kid Oberoi were spotted sharing a gala time at a bash recently.
An eyewitness said, “They both were talking about Krrish 3 in the party too. They looked very comfortable with each other. Looked like Vivek has now become Hrithik`s best friend.” More

Amitabh Bachchan
Very sad to hear of the passing of Satya Sai Baba. Sent me ‘Vibhuti’ at the time of Coolie accident on getting well visited him.

Abhishek Bachchan
Heard the very sad news of Shri Satya Sai Baba passing away. I remember the first photo I saw of him was in my dadi ma’s mandir. Aishwarya is a great believer in him. She called this morning to give me the sad news. We send our prayers….

Aishwarya Rai
Shri Satya Sai Baba..deep sadness on His demise. He remains with us… Prayers…

Ram Gopal Varma
I had a horrible Sunday.. how can I have a super Sunday when Satya Sai Baba is dead? Just heard that Baba left his body and am sure is on his way to lots of temples. My heart bleeds for his followers. My sincere condolences. More

After a grand wedding in Bangalore, newly weds Vivek Oberoi and Priyanka Alva hosted an equally grand  reception party in Mumbai on Sunday.

Vivek was dressed in dark velvet sherwani and Priyanka in a blue and green velvet lehenga.

Suresh Oberoi, expressed his happiness by saying that he now had two daughters.

“I am feeling happy, I got one daughter married and I am getting another daughter. So, I have two daughters,” he said. We at bollywood.ac wish the couple all the best for their life. Source

The macho Vivek Oberoi married Priyanka Alva, daughter of late Karnataka political leader Jeevraj Alva, here Friday. The 28-year-old Priyanka is a Business Management graduate from Britain. Her mother Nandini is a well known classical dancer.

Jeevraj Alva, a Janata Dal-United leader and a minister in the Ramakrishna Hegde ministry in Karnataka, passed away in 2001. The wedding, both in Karnataka and Punjabi style, took place at the sprawling farm house of Alvas in north Bangalore.

The Oberois — father Suresh Oberoi was also a leading Hindi film actor — will host a reception in Mumbai Sunday. The pre-wedding ceremonies began Thursday and continued till Friday evening when the ‘barat` reached Alva`s house.

The wedding comes a few days after the release of Vivek`s latest bollywood flick, ‘Rakht Charitra’, across India. Source

Vivek Oberoi doesn’t believe in moving on or so it seems. The actor, who has been trying for long to mend fences with the Bachchans has now gone a step ahead to break the ice as he personally went to invite Abhishek Bachchan and his wife Aishwarya for his wedding on Oct 29.

And even though his helpless pleas for forgiveness have often been met with a cold shrug by the unforgiving Jr Bachchan, Vivek is leaving no stones unturned to change that equation.
 
As per reports, Oberoi went across to Mehboob Studios in Bandra to invite his ex Aishwarya Rai’s husband, Abhishek Bachchan, for his wedding on October 29.

And Vivek took director Apoorva Lakhia’s help to call Abhishek. Sources state that Vivek called up Apoorva to help him invite Bachchan Jr. It’s a known fact that the Oberois and the Bachchans have always shared bad vibes, owing to Aishwarya Rai. And even though Vivek has been trying to make peace the Bachchans for long, he has been unsuccessful in his efforts.

When contacted by a news daily, Lakhia said, “I didn’t take Vivek to Mehboob Studios. I had gone to meet Abhishek, who was shooting there for Rohan Sippy’s film Dum Maro Dum. I made Abhishek and Vivek talk on the phone, which is when Vivek invited Abhishek for his wedding.” Source

Another big Bollywood wedding is around-the-corner, and thankfully, this one won’t be such a super exclusive affair like the Bachchan baraat. Well, that’s another reason we like Vivek Oberoi, simply because he doesn’t keep his affairs as private.

Recently,he revealed, “We will be hosting a grand reception in Mumbai where chefs from all over the country (coming from a particular chain of hotel) will be dishing up a lavish spread of their signature dishes. The wedding will be in Bangalore, on this huge property owned by Priyanka’s family.

And what about the dream honeymoon? “No honeymoon for us right away as I am busy with the promotions of Rakht Charitra. But we’re planning something sometime in November. Priyanka likes deep-sea diving and I like flying planes, so maybe we could do a bit of both.” Well, you can fly as high as you want VO, as long as your better-half can keep you grounded, what say ?

He’s usually renowned for making all the wrong splashes. Vivek Oberoi, more (in)famous as the publicity hungry star, out to milk every media opportunity dry, also has a good Samaritan side to him.

Reportedly , Oberoi Boy also does his own rounds of charity on the sidelines… and what’s better… does it with empathy.

Word has it that Vivvy recently arranged for a home for an old woman who was shelterless.

States a close pal of VO, “Vivek has a lot of positivity in his life which has come in through philantrophy. Right from his family’s initiative to help underprivileged children and women in Vrindavan to cancer afflicted people to so many other causes. When Vivek came to know about the old woman who was homeless and desperate for shelter, he made sure that a home was arranged for her.” Source
