'I made a lot of mistakes' - Vivek Oberoi

Download Mission Ist... wallpapers

While on MISSION ISTAANBUL, its lead actor Vivek Oberoi has turned a new leaf. "I made a lot of mistakes, I rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, I got carried away. I went through hell, personally and professionally. The media turned its back on me. Some of the projects I was associated with, evaporated into thin air. Everything I did, backfired," Vivek reminisces as we get into the flashback mode.

"But," he continues in the same breath, "I realized that the problem was with me, not anyone else. If almost everyone was talking ill of me, if almost everyone had trained their guns on me, it only went to prove that I was at fault, it only meant that I need to mend ways. As you sow so shall you reap."

Vivek also admits that the Salman Khan episode -- calling the entire media to his house to malign Salman -- is something he repents. "I used a public platform to malign him. When I felt I must apologize, I did so publicly, not discreetly," he admits honestly.

Quiz Vivek whether he'd work with Salman, Abhishek or Ash, pat comes the reply, "Of course, I would. I am a professional and so are they." Meanwhile, Vivek begins shooting for Tips' new film shortly, followed by Karan Johar's new project.

👏 👏 good of vivek shame he did not realise at time who he was doing it for though lol

I don't understand him at all, why is he going back on it all and apologising? 😕 He never made that big a mistake and it wasn't entirely his fault.

I hope he does return with good quality work for a change.

I like his honesty. I hope he wins the "Best actor" award soon as he's been in the industry for a while, and also because I like his acting.

can he just shut it now...he has said it enough times that he is sorry!

Yeah, I feel the same way. Everyone keeps questioning him about it in interviews. I think he is trying to move onto his work. The thing is he is not the no comments sort of person or I won't talk about personal life. And the entertainment media is going to use that to its advantage to take a story and give the twist they want to it with a certain quote. I really hope he starts getting offers from other places other than Sanjay Gupta's. I miss the Vivek of Company, Saathiya, and Yuva.
