Vivek Oberoi Discusses Career Challenges Amid Bollywood Lobby OppositionNext

Vivek Oberoi, a prominent Bollywood actor of the 2000s, revealed in a recent interview that his career declined due to a powerful lobby in the industry that ostracised him. He described this period as a 'dark place' marked by humiliation, threats from underworld figures, and loss of film opportunities. Oberoi said he faced bullying after standing up against perceived wrongs, leading to isolation and personal struggles, though he has since rebuilt his career and net worth.
