Mumbai: There is always a buzz around the relationship between Bollywood actors Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai. The seemingly perfect rom-com turned into a nightmare, as both actors drifted from their love story before the fall from the tabloids ended.
The Start of Their Relationship
This incident had come right after Aishwarya’s break-up with Salman Khan, with Aishwarya allegedly finding refuge in Vivek’s arms. The two started a relationship soon after, and the tabloids had a blast with their romance. Aishwarya, having moved on from a previous significant relationship, and Vivek, having achieved early success, appeared to be an ideal match. They even tried to revive success at the box office with a string of movies. Even though they had great chemistry on-screen, their films did not fare well at the box office.
Turning Point: Struggles in Career and Breakup
While Aishwarya was experiencing unprecedented success with consecutive hit films and lucrative offers, Vivek’s career took a significant downturn. He found it difficult to get roles, and his career graph dipped. So in fact, their discovery of that new music avenue became one of the reasons the romance they had at the time ended, according to entertainment magazines of the day. Vivek and Aishwarya broke up because he thought she couldn’t accept his career decline. There were even rumours about a possible marriage between the pair before it all came crashing down.
Vivek’s Remarks Post-Breakup
Speaking openly, Vivek talked about what happened after their split. He opened up about the effect the split has had on him, resorting to heavy drinking to deal with the heartbreak and spiralling into debt. As a result, he revealed how he came to the realisation that doing so was pointless. Previously, in the same interview, Vivek called Aishwarya a plastic beauty and had also said that a plastic heart is there inside her. This statement created a lot of media buzz, but Aishwarya never commented on it.
Aishwarya Rai’s Response
Over the years, whenever she was asked about her past relationships, starting from Salman Khan to Vivek Oberoi, Aishwarya never spoke a word about it. The generic answer she would always give was that she does not like to live in the past and wants to be present. She avoided any mention of her past relationships, and the media was left to wonder how she felt.
While it’s been years since Vivek and Aishwarya parted ways, both have moved on, with Aishwarya marrying actor Abhishek Bachchan and Vivek busy with his career and family. Nevertheless, their short and stormy relationship continues to intrigue a good many Bollywood watchers.
