Vivek Oberoi sparks debate with a bold statement; says, “2050 mein log bolenge ‘Kaun Shah Rukh Khan?’”

Vivek Oberoi has stirred up a fresh round of debate after making a bold remark about the transient nature of fame. Speaking to Pinkvilla, Vivek reflected on how stardom, no matter how towering, can fade with time, even for icons who currently define the industry.

Discussing how quickly legacies can be forgotten by new generations, Vivek said, "Which film, starring someone who worked in the 1960s… you ask anyone about that today, nobody cares."

He then added his now-viral prediction, “2050 mein log bolenge ‘kaun Shah Rukh Khan’, shayad (In 2050, people might ask, ‘Who is Shah Rukh Khan?’, perhaps).”

He went a step further by suggesting that this phenomenon applies even to legends like Raj Kapoor. Vivek observed, "People today might ask, ‘Who is Raj Kapoor?’ You and I, we call him the god of cinema, but if you ask any youngster who is a fan of Ranbir Kapoor, they might not even know who Raj Kapoor was. So maybe history relegates you into nothingness."
