In the 20 years of his career, Vivek Oberoi delivered hits like 'Company' and 'Saathiya'. However, Vivek Oberoi's award-winning performances were followed by phases when he had no work and now the actor opens up about his journey which he says was built purely on 바카라meritocracy바카라, and how there was a time when he had no work even after 바카라delivering as an actor, and at the box office바카라.

He shared his family has seen him struggle as he fought the lobby that acted against him in Bollywood.

바카라They바카라re extremely fond of me, proud of me, because they바카라ve seen me go through such a phase where there was a whole lobby, a whole powerful set of people who were trying to push me down. That was the time I went out and gave a Shootout at Lokhandwala, where I got a lot of praise and won awards. People were saying 바카라oh my God, this is amazing!바카라 and then for one and a half years, I was sitting at home, nobody was coming to me with films, it defies all logic. As an actor I was delivering, box office was delivering, there were awards, critics were praising me but there was no work, kaam hi nahi tha,바카라 Vivek shares.

Vivek also thinks that the lobby that tried crushing his talent is now breaking.

바카라It is breaking. Look at what Sushant Singh Rajput went through, or so many other kids go through, so much talent gets crushed because it was somebody바카라s decision, for reasons other than work, to just destroy someone. There is so much power in some people바카라s hands, there is a God complex, which needs to go. We can바카라t have too much power in their hand where they can think that they can make or break someone, and ensure that people don바카라t work in this industry again. People have said this to me and they actually believe it. It바카라s our fault as an industry that we바카라ve given that kind of power to them. That pedestal should be given only to talent 바카라 new, old, upcoming, established, that is the most important.바카라

Vivek was among the early movers to OTT when Bollywood still looked down upon the medium and he credits his open mindedness and lack of arrogance to take that plunge. "Sometimes we believe hum sab jaante hai, humara hi sahi hai. That comes from a sense of arrogance that you know all, but you should be willing to try something new, you should be willing to say ok, I바카라ll try and reinvent myself, let me try and experience what this is and that바카라s what leads you.바카라
