Vivek Oberoi admitted he didn’t want to get married before he met his now-wife Priyanka Alva. The actor, who briefly dated Aishwarya Rai when they were filming Kyun Ho Gaya Na in 2004, revealed that in the years after the break up, he wasn’t prepared to be in a relationship or even marry. However, his mother insisted he meets Priya. The match was arranged and things fell in place for the two.
Speaking with Curly Tales, Vivek Oberoi said, “I didn’t want to get married, I was partying away. I was like no serious relationships. Its too much stress, too much complications. I had my fatherly emotion satisfied with my nieces and nephews. So, I was like, why to get married. My mom said, ‘meet this one girl, meet her and if you don’t like her, you say no, after that I will never tell you to meet anybody else but meet this one.’”
He eventually met Priyanka. Speaking with Humans of Bombay, he revealed that his maasi (aunt) met Priya first and suggested Vivek meets her too. “Priyanka was somewhere in New York, studying her MBA at that time, and they (relatives) set everything up. My mother saw this, and she has seen enough of me saying ‘please don’t talk about it’ in the past. She had tried this in the past… She is looking at this photo, and I come home and see the picture and say ‘she is quite pretty’. Next thing I know is that she is telling me ‘you have to meet her’,” Vivek recalled.
Vivek met Priyanka, who is the daughter of former Karnataka minister late Jeevaraj Alva and reputed dancer Nandini, and eventually tied the knot on 29 October 2010. The couple welcomed two kids, Vivaan Veer and Ameya Nirvana. Vivek has spoken about his children often.
