Bollywood actor, Vivek Oberoi was once madly in love with the ever-so-gorgeous, Aishwarya Rai, but the duo parted ways in 2003. He once claimed that it was Aishwarya's ex-boyfriend, Salman Khan, who had threatened him for dating her. It didn't only ruin his relationship with Aishwarya, but also allegedly harmed his career later. After a few years, Vivek tied the knot with Karnataka minister, Jeevaraj Alva's daughter, Priyanka Alva, in October 2010.
Now, in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Vivek Oberoi was asked to talk about his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Aishwarya Rai, however, he refused to answer the question. Furthermore, Vivek was probed about how things would change for him if he wouldn’t have gone public about his dating life during the initial years of his career, he said:
“Not that I am not going to answer this question, because it's done and dusted."

However, Vivek shared his valuable words of wisdom for the youth, who are committed to their work, and asked them not to give anyone an opportunity to attack them in any aspect of their life. However, the actor mentioned that it happens everywhere and added:
"But, for any youth, young talented people who are watching today, just remember one thing in life if you are really focused and committed to your work, and you’re giving it your hundred per cent, it happens everywhere I see it everywhere, my only advice is that see if they can't attack you on your professionalism, if they can’t attack you on your talent, if they can’t attack you on the work you do, don't give them an opportunity to attack you on something else and shift the focus. Don’t do that, that would be a disservice to yourself and to your commitment to your career.”
During the same interview, Vivek was asked why he never opened up about his personal life after ending things with his ex-girlfriend, Aishwarya Rai, till he was married to Priyanka. To this, the actor shared that he didn't want to put his personal life out there as a projection because he was sensitive about it. In his words:
“I realised if you don’t want people talking about your personal life, if you are sensitive to it, which most people are, then you shouldn’t be putting it out there as a projection.”
Vivek also talked about his relationship with his wife, Priyanka Alva Oberoi and recalled their first meeting. He shared that when the latter asked him to tell her something about himself, he told her that she was an actor. But, she was quick to respond that there was so much more to him and she wanted to know all about it. Talking about the same, he said:
"When I first met Priyanka, I remember something that made me fall in love with this thought when she asked me ‘tell me about yourself’. I said ‘everything is out there online but let me start by saying I’m an actor’, she said one thing to me ‘that’s what you just do, not who you are, I want to know who you are’ and that’s when I realised there is so much more to me.”
On the work front, Vivek was last seen in the web series, Dharavi Bank, alongside actor, Suniel Shetty.
