Actually this actor is none other than Bollywood veteran actor Suresh Oberoi’s son and actor Vivek Oberoi. Vivek Oberoi became an actor in the early 2000s. Many of his films like Company, Saathiya were hits but then his films did not work and he flopped.
When he was not getting work in films, Vivek tried his hand at business and he became successful. Recently, in an interview, Vivek revealed that his father had made him a businessman at the age of 10.
Vivek revealed that his father had trained him to become an entrepreneur even before he started training as an actor.
Vivek said that when he was in school, every summer vacation his father would bring some goods and encouraged Vivek to sell them using his skills.
In fact, in an interview given to Aaj Tak, Vivek said, “The day school ended, the next day my father would bring some products. It could be electronics, perfume, many things. He would say that this total goods is worth 2ooo rupees. How much can you take out of it? If I took goods worth 1000 rupees, then whatever I made on top of it would be mine, and I would return 1000 rupees to my father. I was 10 years old at that time. “
Vivek Oberoi said that he started learning to maintain accounts from that age itself. He further said, “If you go to sell on your bicycle, how much money do you save? If you take an auto, how much do you spend? So I had a discipline for this and it kept increasing every year. My father used to make me do this every year until I was 15-16 years old.”
Vivek said children of his age usually spend all their time playing but he learnt to earn money and “all this character building happened because of my father.”
He further said, “Since the age of 15, I have never taken anything from my father except blessings.”
Vivek Oberoi is the owner of many companies today. According to media reports, the actor’s net worth is 15 million dollars i.e. Rs 1 billion 10 crores.
Talking about Vivek’s film career, the actor is currently not seen in films but in web series. Recently Vivek was seen with Shilpa Shetty and Siddharth Malhotra in Rohit Shetty directed Indian Police Force.
