Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai dated briefly, and now, a video of him expressing his love for her has gone viral amid divorce rumours with Abhishek Bachchan. Watch!
Bollywood’s popular couple, Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, have been making the headlines recently for their never-ending divorce speculations. Every day you’ll get a new story cooked around them. Amid all the rumours, an old video of Aishwarya Rai’s reportedly ex-boyfriend, actor Vivek Oberoi has gone viral.
For those who don’t know there was a time when Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan’s on-screen pairing was very popular, they even fell in love in real life. She fell in love with Salman during the making of the 1999 romantic drama Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. However, their relationship ended on a very bad note and the couple split in 2002, and Aishwarya later began dating Vivek Oberoi while filming the 2004 movie Kyun! Ho Gaya Na.
Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya Rai dated for a couple of months and their relationship grabbed a lot of attention. When Vivek was invited as a guest at the Koffee with Karan show, host KJo had asked him whether Aishwarya looked better in Bollywood or Hollywood. Vivek gave an interesting reply, saying, “She looks good in my arms.”
Soon after the video went viral, netizens were quick to comment on the Instagram reel. One of the users wrote, “She could’ve been still in his arms if he was smart enough to handle fame!” Another user said, “At least he is man enough to give Aishwarya the respect she deserves. But Aish used to date him and wanted to make that a secret. That was so creepy . When he admitted his love for his girlfriend, she denied having any relationship with him. Because she was an opportunist. Look at her now. Her husband refuses to be clicked with them. Vivek is still happily married with two kids and has immense respect for his wife. That’s called karma”.

However, not many people know that Aishwarya remained in touch with Salman Khan even while she was with Vivek. These hints were dropped by Sohail Khan. In an old interview, Sohail said, “Now she weeps in public. When she was going around with him, visiting our home so often like part of the family, did she ever acknowledge the relationship? She never did. That made Salman feel insecure. He wanted to know how much she wanted him, but she would never let him be sure of that.”
Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan have been married for 17 years and share a daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan. Rumours of a divorce surfaced earlier this year after she made an entry with only Aaradhya at Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s wedding.
