EXCLUSIVE: Vivek Oberoi CONFESSES wanting to ‘end it all’ at one time: That’s why I related to what happened with Sushant Singh Rajput

Actor Vivek Oberoi gave stellar performances in movies like Company and Saathiya. He turned down his father’s proposal to be launched by Abbas Mustan and do on his own in the industry. The actor revealed that he had no work for one and a half year of struggles and stood outside production offices trying to do auditions and not telling anyone that he was Suresh Oberoi’s son. He had a tumultuous journey in the industry with lots of controversies and troubles. The actor also went through the phase when he had thoughts to end it all. In an exclusive interview with Bollywood Bubble’s show Memory Lane, Vivek made a shocking confession of having dark thoughts once in his life which made him relate to Sushant Singh Rajput and how wife Priyanka Oberoi helped him through that.

Vivek said that he had negative thoughts of ending it all at one point of time. But his family helped him to get out of it. He added, “I was constantly so upset with the negativity around me. May be that was the agenda. The agenda is sometimes to break you mentally. But I think Priyanka had a big role in creating a haven for me and figuring out not what I do but who I really am.”

Oberoi further said by ‘ending it all’ he means in adarker sense which is why he related to what happened with Sushant Singh Rajput and other people. He said, “I felt that darker side and the pain. This place can be pretty cruel and they can be brutal with trying to crush you. When lies are spoken so many times and so loudly by so many, they become the truth. They force you to start believing that that’s the truth about you. But in the hindsight with a lot of calmness , lots of strength and inner happiness, you realise that the truth is your truth and no one can take that away from you but you.”

When asked how he motivated himself, he said his mom is his hero. Vivek added, “She gave me this incredible tool to stop feeling self-pity, Self-pain and sense of disillusionment. She took me see kids who were dealing with cancer at Tata Memorial Hospital and the moment I walked in, these kids smiled, the whole room brightened up. That day I realised two things- one my problems are nothing compared to those children and parents. So, I can deal with it. Second is that celebrity, popularity, success just being known can be a gift from the divine can actually wipe tears and bring a smile to people’s face. That’s the power you have been blessed with. I committed myself to that. Every time I would take away their pain, I would feel joy and my pain just died. I started feeling more complete as a person and happier as a person.
