Vivek Oberoi Reveals Akshay Kumar Gave Him Work When He Was ‘Depressed’: 'Career Ki Band Baji...'

During the course of his career, Vivek Oberoi has seen many ups and downs. He recently opened up about a time when he didn’t have much work and Akshay Kumar helped to resurrect his career by giving him a “practical, simple” solution.

Vivek Oberoi told Mirchi Plus, “Band baji hui thi mere career ki. Akshay Kumar, superstar, called me one day and asked ‘Kahan hai?’ I said, ‘Ghar pe.’ He asked, ‘Kya kar raha hai?’ I said, ‘Kuch nahi bhai, bohot despressed hoon.’ Half an hour later he lands up at my house.”

Vivek said that Akshay asked him to sit down and have a conversation with him about the problems in his life. Vivek said, “He let me vent out, he let me air my problems. Patiently suna.”

Vivek added, “He said. ‘Yeh sab ka toh main kuch kar nahi sakta, par tujhe positive mindset main karne ke liye what I’ll tell you is ki itne saare shows chal rahe hain. Teri itne saare blockbuster gaane ho chuke hain. Main bohot shoot kar raha hoon. Main itne shows kar nahi sakta toh voh tujhe divert kar deta hoon. You start doing them. Whatever inquiries are coming for me, I’ll send them to you. Mujhe karne nahi hain, you do it.'”

Vivek praised Akshay and said, “Boss, kya baat hai. Kaun karta hai aise?” Vivek added, “Usse kam se kam I started going back on stage, started seeing fans in a show. Fans are cheering, ek acchi positive feeling aa gayi. Show ke rehearsal main aap busy ho gaye. After that, I started doing shows non-stop. Paise ke paise aaye aapko. Meri frustration yeh thi ki main film deliver kar raha hoon, mujhe awards mil rahe hain, phir bhi mujhe kaam kyu nahi de raha koi?”

“Unhone ek practical, simple solution bataya. Paise bhi aaye, feeling bhi aayi, love bhi aaya, performance ki commitment bhi aayi, bohot maza aaya. These are the things I have deep love and gratitude for,” Vivek added.

Vivek Oberoi said that he keeps Akshay in his prayers and if the actor’s films are about to release, he prayers that they become super hits.
