I really like Vivek Oberoi. And I don't know much about the specifics of the controversies that he was engaged in. But I thought he came across as such a down-to-earth person. I mean he was so open about admitting his mistakes and again and again realized and talked about how success got to his head. I felt that was such true redemption. It was fun watching the episode. He was quite entertaining. And the friendship that him and Sajid share came across as very pleasant to watch.
I loved him in Shootout at Lokhandwala and recently watched Mission Istanbul, where he was once again playing a very mysterious, slick character. I loved him in that form. I think he has such potential, he's such a wonderful actor.
And I can't believe he rejected the role in Om Shanti Om! That would've been such a boost in his career. Arjun Rampal is enjoying much glory at the time.
Any thoughts?
