 "'There was a phase in my life where my movies were...'")
The talented and versatile actor of the Indian film industry, who featured in hits like Masti franchise, Saathiya, Omkara, Shootout at Lokhandwala and Company among others, recently opened up about not getting films due to lobbying in Bollywood.
“I have been doing other businesses for a while now. There was a phase in my life where my movies were hit, performance was appreciated, yet for other reasons if you are not getting any role at all, when you become the victim of a system and lobby, you are left with just two options where you get all depressed or take it as a challenge and write your own destiny. I chose to walk on the latter path and ended up starting several businesses,” the actor told India News.
In a recent interview with Mirchi Plus, the actor also revealed how Akshay Kumar helped him when a certain section of Bollywood boycotted him. “‘Bata kya problem chal rahi hai teri life mein?’ he asked me and then let me vent out, air my problems, pain. He heard me patiently and said, ‘I can help you with a positive mindset. There are several shows going on, and you have blockbuster songs. I am shooting a lot, so I can’t do these shows, but whatever enquiries come to me, I will divert it to you. You do it.’," revealed Oberoi .
“Who does that! Because of that I started getting back on stage, fans started cheering and a good positive energy was around me. My frustration was I was doing hit films, was getting awards, but why was I not getting work. Why was I getting boycotted like this? He didn’t say I will stand up with you, fight this war against this lobby. He gave a practical, simple solution, which gave me money, good feeling, love and a lot of fun,” added Vivek.
