Vivek Oberoi seems to be in one of the most exciting phases of his life — spiritually grounded, professionally thriving, and financially unstoppable. The Saathiya star, who will soon be seen in Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana alongside Ranbir Kapoor, Yash, and Sai Pallavi, is redefining success with his journey. From heartfelt reflections on fame and failure to building a Rs 1200-crore fortune through smart investments, Vivek’s story today feels like a full-circle moment.
As reported by Hindustan Times, Vivek shared that he recently spoke to his wife, Priyanka Alva, about how his mindset has shifted over time. He said, "It’s really strange, and they say the universe works on vibrations and how you feel." He added that when one stops chasing success desperately and begins operating from calm and clarity, the universe responds in kind. According to him, being relaxed, listening to scripts he truly believes in, and choosing films for passion rather than compulsion have brought him both joy and creative freedom.
In an interview with PGXPodcast, Vivek Oberoi reflected on how people often fixate on one goal or path, refusing to adapt when life changes. He compared it to startups that quickly pivot during crises but noted how people rarely apply that same flexibility to personal lives. He said this rigidity—whether in love, ambition, or choices—keeps us stuck before closed doors instead of exploring new ones. Vivek added that true growth begins when we stop asking for specific outcomes and instead trust the universe to give what’s best, sharing a story from Brahma Bihari Swami to illustrate this wisdom.
Further in the same interview, he recalled his time in Bhutan, where monks taught him about the six realms of existence in Buddhist philosophy. He explained that the first realm is of gods, the second of demigods, followed by four others below. What struck him most was that demigods, despite being in the second-highest realm, live in constant jealousy—always looking upward at those above and never appreciating those below. He found this Buddhist idea deeply relatable to real life as well as in love. Vivek Oberoi about fame in Bollywood
Speaking at a Franchise India event, Vivek reflected on how the entertainment industry tests resilience like no other. He described how fame can change overnight — one day, producers line up to work with you, and the next, the calls stop coming. He revealed that he once measured his success by the number of birthday bouquets arriving at his home. When the bouquets stopped during tough times, he said, it was a humbling reminder of how quickly fortunes can change in Bollywood.
His success and failure as an actor
His journey in cinema has indeed seen dramatic highs and lows. After a dream debut in Company (2002) and critical acclaim for Saathiya and Yuva, a public feud with Salman Khan and a series of box-office flops derailed his career. The industry, once eager to back him, began to keep its distance. Yet, over the years, Vivek rebuilt himself — not just as an actor but as a multifaceted entrepreneur and investor. His performances in Inside Edge and Indian Police Force have earned him renewed respect and a fresh place in the evolving landscape of Indian entertainment.
Vivek Oberoi's success as a businessman
Beyond acting, Vivek’s financial acumen has turned him into one of the wealthiest names in Bollywood, with an estimated net worth of Rs 1200 crore. In interviews, he has often emphasised the importance of financial independence beyond the film industry. He began investing early in his career and today owns multiple successful ventures. His real estate company, Karma Infrastructure, and event management firm, Mega Entertainment, form the backbone of his empire. He also founded Aqua Arc, a massive Rs 2,300-crore project on Al Marjan Island in Ras Al Khaimah, and co-founded Svarnim University. On top of that, he continues to invest in promising startups as an angel investor.
