Vivek Oberoi is a renowned actor in Bollywood who consistently wins the hearts of his fans with his exceptional acting skills. Vivek has consistently grabbed the limelight in both his personal and professional life over the years. The actor's relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan became the talk of the town, and eventually it also affected his career. Currently, Vivek is married to Priyanka Alva, and they are parents to a son and a daughter. Recently, Vivek discussed his first relationship, which began when he was just 13 years old.

Vivek Oberoi recalls losing his first love to cancer at the age of 18, only

In an interview with Prakhar Gupta on his YouTube channel, Vivek Oberoi shared that one must open their heart to feel again after experiencing a heartbreak. He then recalled watching his childhood sweetheart pass away while she was just 17, and he was 18. He mentioned that he lost her to cancer at such a tender age and that, too, in front of his eyes. Vivek Oberoi could be quoted as saying:

"You have to be open again and feel again even if you go through heartbreak. For example, I lost my childhood sweetheart to blood cancer. I was 18 and she was 17, and I saw her pass away right in front of my eyes."

In the same interview, Vivek Oberoi mentioned that it was a kind of puppy love between them, where they would share each other's cards and handmade gifts. Vivek further shared that he was certain he would marry his then-girlfriend once they grew up. Vivek then expressed his grief and shared how that girl was diagnosed with cancer in January, and within two months, he just passed away. In Vivek's words:

"We fell in love when I was 13, and it was that kind of ‘puppy love’ where we gave each other cards. I was very sure that she was the girl I was going to marry when I grew older, and we had thought about getting married, having kids and the rest of our lives together. Suddenly, she went away. She was diagnosed in January, and she was gone by March."

Vivek Oberoi reveals that he's scared of heartbreaks

Vivek also mentioned that he is a very emotional and sensitive kind of person, and he doesn't like to live with the constant fear of getting his heart broken, which he has already done. He mentioned that when he navigates with heartbreak, he feels very lonely, and that's not his nature, so it feels like he is a fish out of water. Vivek said:

"I have always been very emotional and sensitive throughout my life. I don’t like living in fear of getting my heart broken again, because I have done that before, and I know what that feels like. When I insulate myself after a heartbreak, I get very lonely, and that isn’t my nature. If you do something completely against your nature, you will automatically feel like a fish out of the water."

Vivek Oberoi earlier talked about his first relationship

Earlier, in an interview with India TV, Vivek Oberoi discussed his previous relationship with his first girlfriend and how her passing affected him. The actor said that he was deeply hurt by this, and partly because of this reason, when he was in college, he didn't enter a serious relationship. Another reason was that he was studying and also starting his investment business. Vivek also added that his wife, Priyanka Alva, doesn’t ask questions about his romantic past.
