Vivek Oberoi Wants To Win National Award:
My first encounter with actor Vivek Oberoi, at a remote seaside hamlet in Chennai in 2004, was quite unusual. Oberoi had set up camp at the village of Devanampattinam, to help the locals ravaged by the Boxing Day tsunami. He had assumed that I was from the Port Trust of India (slight misunderstanding regarding the name of my former employer) and wanted me to take a look at the damaged boats the moment I set foot at the camp.
His deep chuckle over the phone as I reminded him of the incident brought back memories of him playing freely with the children of fishermen who lost their houses to the devastation. In that tiny village of Cuddalore district, the children were unaware of Vivek’s
star status and would follow him around in droves as he joked with the local boys.
“It teaches you about your inner potential,” Vivek said. As he prepared for his upcoming film ‘Kismet Love Paisa Delhi’ or ‘KLPD’, Vivek spoke about a particularly bountiful period in his life (2012-2013) during which he has nine film projects lined up.
His wife Priyanka was due to deliver the couple’s first child and he couldn’t seem to stop talking about her”I had gone back to that village later, you know, to hand over the housing projects that we were overseeing at that time. But at some point you have to cut the umbilical cord and distance yourself after you have done your job,” he said during an interview.
