Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is currently facing multiple challenges, with heightened security measures following threats from gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. In the wake of these threats and the recent murder of his close friend Baba Siddiqui, an old video of actor Vivek Oberoi has resurfaced on social media, stirring controversy.
Vivek Oberoi’s Old Video Goes Viral
Amidst the ongoing Salman Khan-Lawrence Bishnoi controversy, a video of Vivek Oberoi praising the Bishnoi community has caught the attention of the public. The video, originally from an event held in Dubai in February last year, has now gone viral.
What Vivek Oberoi Said in the Video
In the viral clip, Vivek Oberoi can be heard speaking highly of the Bishnoi community in Hindi. He says, “Look up the Bishnoi community on Google. You won’t find anything like them anywhere in the world. In every house, even in mine, we feed our children cow’s milk. But there is only one community—the Bishnois—who, if a fawn’s mother dies, take the fawn in their arms and feed it milk, just like they would their own child. You won’t find such compassion anywhere else in the world.”
Social Media Trolls Vivek Oberoi
The resurfacing of this video has led to a flood of comments on social media, with users speculating about Vivek Oberoi’s intentions. One user remarked, “The enemy of my enemy is Lawrence’s friend.” Another commented, “Looks like he’s taking revenge.” A third user noted, “He’s pouring fuel on the fire.”
Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan’s Long-standing Feud
The reason this video has stirred such a reaction is due to the long-standing feud between Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan. In 2003, Vivek held a press conference accusing Salman of threatening him over his relationship with actress Aishwarya Rai, following her breakup with Salman. Since then, the tension between the two actors has been evident, making this video all the more controversial amidst the current situation.
