When Vivek Oberoi spoke about his conflict with Salman Khan: 'People who had a lot of power in Bollywood...'

Vivek Oberoi, recognized for his versatility—from his charming lover-boy in Saathiya to the hardened gang member in Omkara—emerges as one of Bollywood's most adaptable actors, who has faced his own set of challenges along the way.

A clip from Vivek's interview at the India Global Forum in London, which was shared by Brut India a few months back, features the actor reflecting on his experiences of feeling like a 'victim.'

Talking about how his career took a hit after getting success during the initial years, he said, "I got a lot of success, I was winning a lot of awards in my career and suddenly it evaporated because a bunch of people, who had a lot of power in Bollywood, decided 'You are not going to work here anymore, we will make sure that happens'. I experienced a lot of frustration and pain and anger and felt like a victim; and I didn't know how to deal with it."

However, his mother has always been his pillar of strength and role model, offering guidance that helped him navigate through his challenges. "My mom is somebody I really look up to. She's my hero. And she said 'Put your attention into being a hero to someone else and you will feel like a hero, you will feel like a winner'... the only way you can transition from being a victim to being hero is by being a hero to someone. So you start finding that someone that you can be a hero to," he added.
