Despite having exceptional talent and being a gifted actor, Vivek Oberoi didn't have good fortune on his side. His fortune has changed now, but the past cannot be changed. Vivek had a press conference during the height of his success in which he attacked Salman Khan. As a result, he lost access to films and endured years of unemployment. He had starred in the successful movie 'Shootout at Lokhandwala' at the time, making him known as Maya Bhai, but that charm too failed to work. Despite the movie being a great smash, Vivek stayed at home for a year.
