It was the year 2003 when actor Vivek Anand Oberoi called
for a press conference where he disclosed that Salman Khan threatened him with numerous
calls during his affair with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
It's more than 15 years, but still, Vivek is bearing the
brunt of it. He had numerous hits like Company, Saathiya and Masti. But after
2003, reports have it, people feared to approach him for roles. Speaking about
it, he specified to a famous daily, "It was like a fatwa was issued
against me from the powers that be."
A source close to Vivek had revealed to the daily, "To
what extent Salman blacklisted him from the industry is a matter of conjecture.
It’s easy to assume that he used his clout to ask people to exclude Vivek from
projects. But then, Salman didn’t get along with Ranbir Kapoor and John Abraham
either and they’ve both got work through the years."
Vivek spoke about how his personal life got messed up by telling,
"When my personal life got messed up, I couldn’t keep my eye on the ball.
Even if I gave a hit, work wouldn’t follow. Shootout at Lokhandwala became a
huge hit, but I sat at home for a year after that."
