In a recent appearance on Dr. Jai Madaan’s YouTube channel, Vivek Oberoi opened up about a difficult period in his life. He revealed that during a career conflict, he faced severe financial strain and immense stress.

I was fine with dealing with the consequences of my actions, but I was bothered when my parents were threatened.”

When asked if he received support from the industry during those trying times, the actor shared that many offered their support in their own ways. He expressed his belief in appreciating even the smallest gestures of kindness, emphasizing that expecting too much from others often leads to pain.
On the professional front, Vivek Oberoi will soon be seen in Masti 4, with two more projects lined up for release in the near future.
