In a candid conversation with Mashable Middle East, the actor expressed his feelings of being sidelined and not getting the opportunities to prove himself, which left him feeling extremely helpless and frustrated. Vivek said, “If something bad, like your film’s failure, has happened, that’s one thing. But the feeling of being so helpless when you know it is going to happen again and again, and that you are going to get maneuvered or manipulated out of work, or crushed and not even get the opportunity to prove yourself, that is very frustrating. I personally think there’s nothing worse than feeling completely helpless. You know something’s happening, but you can’t do anything about it.”

Vivek highlighted the impact of external orchestration on his career, without revealing specific names responsible for the setbacks. He said, “Of course I do. It’s a small industry, and it’s an open secret.” Vivek added that he has learned from those experiences and has imbibed good characteristics like humility and kindness. “But you have to deal with it. Those things taught me to be a good person and a good human being, to be humble, nice, and helpful. And not to abuse the position of power I am in. Some people have an arrogance about being nice. They develop that also, there’s a righteousness around it. It’s a disease, you have to stay away.”
