Some credible
films, solid
performances
and plenty of
accolades within
a year of his
debut, actor Vivek
Oberoi was doing
just fine for
himself. Then,
Salman Khan
happened to him.
Today, even as
Vivek completes
15 years in the
industry, his
career is precisely
seen as before
and after the
2003 controversy
involving him,
superstar Salman
and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan!
Vivek knows this and hence, has no
inhibition recalling the incident and even
laughing his heart out over it. Especially,
when he is at a roast'. Today, he hosted an
event to roast his Bank Chor co-star Riteish
Deshmukh. And what better way to start it
than to first pull a good one on himself.

The film has a strong middle-class
connection
So, as he welcomed the media, members of
whom later roasted Riteish, Vivek said, "Last
time jab maine press conference bulayi thi,
tab meri tashreef lag gayi thi... in an
obvious reference to the press conference
he called upon in 2003 where he claimed
that Salman threatened him over phone
calls. Vivek was at that time allegedly in a
relationship with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,
the superstar's former girlfriend.
To underline his punch that he was indeed
referring to Salman, Vivek added, "Those
who didn't get this, I would say you all are a
Tubelight. It couldn't get clearer than this
as the actor mentioned the name of
Salman's upcoming release.
After more than a 30 minute-roast of
Riteish that included plethora of jokes on
the actor's career, it was the Q&A session
that threw the limelight back on Vivek. The
actor, who plays a cop in Bank Chor, was
given a hypothetical situation that how
would he react if someone tells him that the
Tubelight' guy does a police officer better
than him (referring to Salman's Dabangg
franchise)?
Amid loud cheers from other mediapersons,
Vivek replied with a smile, "If someone says
that to me then I would say, Yeah he does
it very well and when part three (of
Dabangg) will come I will go and watch it.
Perhaps, seeing that his co-star was in a no
holds-barred mood, Ritiesh rose to the
occasion and drew some laughs at Vivek's
expense. When a scribe asked him a secret
of Vivek that only he knows, Riteish
answered, "Vivek has a big mouth. Things,
which no one knows, he goes out and tells
everyone about them, in another reminder
of the infamous incident.
The roast was held as a part of the
promotional strategy of Bank Chor, which is
produced by Y-films, an offshoot of Yash Raj
Films. Also starring Rhea Chakraborty and
directed by Bumpy, it will hit theatres on
June 16.
