NEW DELHI: Bollywood rivalries are not uncommon, often marked by controversies that eventually subside over time. However, one enduring feud has left an indelible mark on the Hindi entertainment industry— the bitter spat between Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. Unlike most celebrity conflicts, this one did not fade away with time, and its repercussions were felt in the personal and professional lives of those involved, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
The feud, notorious for its intensity and public spectacle, saw a series of exchanged words and name-calling that continued for an extended period. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s alleged involvement further fuelled the controversy.
In a revealing interview on Farah Khan’s ‘Tere Mere Beech Mein’ show, Vivek Oberoi revisited the entire incident that marked a drastic turn in his personal life and career. When questioned about the person for whom he took such drastic steps, he candidly responded, “No! Ulta yeh hua ki ‘tum bahut immature ho (It happened that ‘You are immature’).”
He went on to highlight the plastic nature of the industry, drawing an analogy with Tupperware, stating, “Jaise Tupperware jahan plastic ke dabbe banate hain … usse zyada plastic hamare yahan hai. Plastic smile, plastic heart..plastic everything!”

Although not explicitly confirmed, the audience inferred that the dig was aimed at Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, given the context of their shared history.
The Salman Khan-Vivek Oberoi saga continues to captivate Bollywood enthusiasts, as the two actors never buried the hatchet. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, a central figure in the feud, later married Abhishek Bachchan, distancing herself from the lingering controversy. Therefore, this unresolved chapter is a reminder of the complexities and enduring nature of Bollywood rivalries.
