Biography

Vivek Oberoi, a talented individual, was born on September 3rd, 1976, and attended Mayo College in Ajmer, India. His journey to stardom began at an actors' workshop in London, where he was discovered by the director of NYU, who subsequently offered him a spot at the prestigious institution to pursue his Master's degree in film acting.

Upon returning to India, Vivek worked as a scriptwriter and used the earnings to purchase his first car. However, his big break came when renowned filmmaker Ram Gopal Varma offered him a role in his gangster film, Company (2002). What made this debut particularly noteworthy was Vivek's unconventional portrayal of a gangster, which deviated from the traditional norm of young actors playing romantic leads.

Ram Gopal Varma initially had reservations about casting Vivek due to his perceived youthful appearance, but Vivek's determination and dedication to the role impressed Varma. Vivek spent time researching and preparing for the role by visiting the slums of Mumbai, and his efforts paid off when he landed the part.

Vivek's outstanding performance in Company earned him widespread acclaim, and he went on to star in several successful films, including Road (2002),Dum (2003),and Saathiya (2002). His notable co-stars during this period included Ajay Devgn, Manisha Koirala, Mohanlal, Antara Mali, Dia Mirza, and Rani Mukerji.

In his personal life, Vivek has been linked to several high-profile celebrities, including Rani Mukherjee and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He has also been in the news for his public outbursts, including a notable incident involving Salman Khan.
