In a recent chat with India TV actor Vivek Oberoi opened up about his past romances and the reasons behind his hesitancy to embrace serious commitments before tying the knot with Priyanka Alva. He shared that during his younger years, he purposefully avoided getting too emotionally attached due to worries about the possibility of heartbreak.

Vivek shared that his choice was influenced by the heartbreaking passing of his first love due to cancer leaving him with a protective wall around his emotions. “I’ve had very few serious girlfriends. When I was in college, I was already studying, managing business, and investing in the stock market. I didn’t have time for a committed relationship,” Vivek shared. He continued, “After my childhood sweetheart passed away from cancer, I didn’t want to go through more heartbreak, so I decided only casual relationships would work for me.”

The actor stressed that even though he held his position he was consistently truthful and open in his connections. “When I’ve loved, I’ve loved with all my heart. I’ve never cheated on anyone. I’ve always been transparent and true to myself,” Vivek added.

Vivek Oberoi, whose father is the seasoned actor Suresh Oberoi and mother is Yashodhara, was given his name in honour of the spiritual leader Swami Vivekanand. He exchanged vows with Priyanka Alva, the daughter of Karnataka minister Jeevaraj Alva, on October 29, 2010. The duo is fortunate to have two children, a son named Vivaan and a daughter named Ameyaa.

Vivek made his mark in Bollywood with his first film Ram Gopal Varma’s Company in 2002. He quickly gained popularity through movies like Saathiya, Yuva, Masti, Omkara and Shootout at Lokhandwala. Since then, he has showcased his talent in a variety of films such as Krrish 3, Lucifer and Khudiram Bose. Recently Vivek took on a role in Rohit Shetty’s debut web series Indian Police Force. Vivek Oberoi continues to enchant audiences with his diverse performances while his journey reflects resilience and personal growth.
