No Salman fan. But your dedication in hating someone is very amusing. You say u hate Salman, but I hv seen u in every Salman topic liking anti Salman posts. You seem to be SRK fan but you are more interested in Salman. Normally people don't care about the person they don't like. But here I guess everything is reversed.

In Farah Khan's chat show Vivek revealed details on the incident and a lot more. Some very interesting excerpts, read on.
*************************************
I got this letter from the organizers of an award function that I'd won the award for "Company"..and then I was told that I shouldn't attend it and later that award was given to someone else...I said I had the letter! I was fed up...I had only one goal in life, act in films but when this incident (press conference against Salman Khan) happened, people were told not to work with me. People started asking me to return the signing amounts saying that they can't do the film with me because they were facing pressure from here and there.
What I did was very wrong but I didn't kill anyone, neither did I harm anyone, I did not hurt anyone's personal life but I was made to suffer a lot. Till today there are friends of yours and mine who say, We'd love to work with you but we can't!' I am still dealing with that after having apologized. But more than Salman, I'm sad about Sohail because he was my best friend and he had even fought for me with Salman. He had told me, I will sort it out, don't worry!' I felt bad that I had let a friend down. Till date, Sohail has not been able to forgive me...I speak to Arbaaz but I understand that I let down Sohail the most!"
Farah Khan - What exactly happened? There are some who know some part of it and others the rest... you please tell us?"
There was too much happening, threats were coming, indirect pressure tactics were being used and I was tired of it.. I tried to phone and even go and meet (Salman) and settle it. My dad was also out of town then... Had been there, he would have rightly advised me.. Lekin uss waqt kuch log the, jo mere kareeb the aur mujhe rai' de rahein the."
Farah Khan - That's a good choice of word.. rai' (referring to Aishwarya Rai)
Sujhav de rahein the, mashavara de rahein the.. rai' nahin de rahein the!" (Everyone laughs) People don't know this.. I'd suddenly become an out caste from being this lovable boy. There were a few who called up saying that I did the right thing but they also soon disappeared. Suddenly there was no one to back me, and those who had asked me to do this also walked away saying that this is no longer their responsibility.
Farah - Yes there was such a huge backlash against you.
I was like... but you're the one who asked me to say all this? There were many such eye-openers then. This was just the beginning.. it just continued.. I was ridiculed at every award function, made fun of...

Everyone makes mistakes, but the price that Vivek has had to pay is something that would haunt him for the rest of his life. Ash moved on and married Abhishek, she is now a Bachchan bahu. Salman's career is still going great guns, he has enough people backing him even with back to back disasters. Vivek very unfortunately has suffered the most, for no fault of his...
