When Aishwarya Rai Said 'Wonderful Friend' Vivek Oberoi Has 'Truly Been There In Every Sense' | Watch

Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were the talk of the town back at one point in time. As per reports, they are said to have begun dating when the Devdas actress had just broken up with Salman Khan. The Kyun! Ho Gaya Na co-stars’ relationship did not last too long and they parted ways in 2005, as per reports. Now, an old video has gone viral in which Aishwarya spoke about Vivek and said that he’s always been there for her.

In an old clip from Koffee with Karan 8, Aishwarya Rai picked Vivek Oberoi as the most promising newcomer. She said, “Vivek is brilliant at what he does.” Later, when Karan asked Aishwarya what came to her mind when he took Vivek’s name, she said, “Wonderful, wonderful friend and truly been there in every sense of the term.”

Vivek’s father Suresh Oberoi recently spoke about Vivek and Aishwarya and revealed that he was not aware of their dynamic, leaving fans shocked. Speaking to Lehren, Suresh Oberoi shared, “Most of the things I didn’t even know. Vivek never told me. Ramu (Ram Gopal Varma) told me. Before Ramu, somebody else told me. I had made him understand. Samjhaya tha mat karo (I had told him not to do).”

Vivek Oberoi found love once again in Priyanka Alva, whom he married in 2010 and has two children named Vivaan Veer, and Ameya Nirvana. Meanwhile, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan tied the nuptial knot to Abhishek Bachchan in 2007 and has a daughter named Aaradhya.

Suresh also spoke about his dynamic with Amitabh Bachchan. “I was never a friend of his. I was his co-star. We had a relationship industry-wise. My friendship was with Danny Mukul. Yes, Mr Bachchan invited me for his birthday but it was fine. And he doesn’t let people know about most of the things. But whenever we meet, we are really nice to each other,” the veteran actor stated.
