Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi recently shared his struggles in the film industry at an event organized by Franchise India. He candidly spoke about the pressures of maintaining a certain lifestyle, especially during financial hardships. Oberoi compared the ups and downs of his acting career to a rollercoaster, where success can make one feel unstoppable, but failure can be isolating.
The ‘Omkara’ star reflected on how quickly circumstances can change for actors, leading to financial struggles. He even revealed a unique way he used to measure his success by counting the bouquets he received on his birthday. Oberoi emphasized the social pressure on Bollywood actors to uphold a particular lifestyle, which often comes at a great cost.
To combat these challenges, Oberoi diversified his career by venturing into business to avoid taking up films solely for financial reasons. This strategic move has empowered him to be selective in his film choices and not compromise on his beliefs. He also dispelled the misconception that actors live stress-free lives, highlighting the unique challenges they face.
On the professional front, Vivek Oberoi was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s web series ‘Indian Police Force’ alongside Sidharth Malhotra and Shilpa Shetty. Oberoi’s insightful remarks shed light on the realities of the film industry and the importance of navigating financial challenges while maintaining integrity in the ever-demanding Bollywood landscape.
