just got hold of some details on the press conference oberoi had held.please do read sanjay leela bhansali's comment on this.its hilarious.
Oberoi proceeded to tell journalists that on March 31, Salman Khan had called his household forty-one times, accusing Oberoi of having had affairs with former co-stars (including Aishwarya Rai) and Salman's ex-girlfriend Somy Ali.
Khan, he said, had insulted his own father (Salim Khan) as well as Oberoi's; had slurred former friends, including Shahrukh Khan; had trashed the appearance of Gurpreet Gill, and most disturbingly, threatened to kill Oberoi. "I am going to come over and kill you," Vivek recalled Salman as saying. Vivek also alleged that Salman hinted at his mafia connections, telling Vivek, "You don't know who you're up against."
Vivek invited him to come over and duke it out, boasting, "I am a boxing champ and have taken on people twice his size in the ring." (Vivek holds a title in the junior division.) After waiting outside the compound gates for forty-five minutes, Oberoi called Salman, who allegedly responded: "Main thaka hua hoon. Kal jhagda karte hain. [I am tired. Let's fight tomorrow.]" (Mid-Day, April 2, 2003)
Vivek told reporters that he had lectured Salman: "You've gotten drunk and taken someone's life. You are living on time borrowed from the person you killed...You should spend three hours everyday in the mourning family's house to realise what it is to lose a loved one. Instead, six months after killing someone, you are still drinking. Quit drinking at least now." (Mid-Day, April 2, 2003).Oberoi continued to reporters, "His family should take him to a clinic. Like there are places for drug de-addiction, there are enough places for alcohol de-addiction too. Are we waiting for him to take another life? Or to take his own?
now this is the best.read sanjay leela bhansali comment on vivek oberoi............
"I think Vivek Oberoi has committed the biggest blunder ever by any actor in Mumbai," the director opened to Rediff, before launching into a sarcastic spiel nonpareil. "He is so powerful. He knows kick-boxing and karate. Bush should call back his army from Iraq and send Vivek instead. 😆 😆 😆 I am very scared of Vivek. I will never be able to work with him now. I may shout at him on the sets and he may call a press conference against me. All the heroines should touch his feet for protecting their dignity... 😆 The media should be ready to cover every event at the Oberois' residence. If Vivek's dog has dysentery tomorrow, we should be prepared to hear Vivek talk about it on camera for three hours." More seriously he added, "The film industry functions on fraternal feelings. If there is a problem, we solve it in-house. Vivek has no business talking about Salman's mental state...Salman's problem is he thinks with his heart. He gives his life to people he loves. That is why his friends have always stood by him. He is perfectly sane and there is no need to send him to a shrink, as some self-styled psychoanalysts think. As for him getting professionally insecure, Salman will be around for a long time...It is not Salman who is insecure at 37. If Vivek was threatened, why is he giving unsolicited advice to Salman and his family? I don't think Salman needs counselling from any self-motivated colleague. How much time has Vivek spent with Salman to know how he handles his women? Why should there be a press conference to hear Oberoi put forward his views based on hearsay? Did we ask him what happened between him and his fiance whom he broke up with after an elaborate engagement?"
