Actor Vivek Oberoi had a great start in the industry and made a mark with films like `Saathiya`, `Company`, `Kyun! Ho Gaya Na...` among others. However, his career hit a rough patch owing to his relations in the industry. The actor recently recalled how superstar Akshay Kumar helped him when he was depressed with his career being at an all-time low. Vivek said "band baji hui thi mere career ki” when he got a call from Akshay Kumar. He said that when he told the superstar that he was depressed, Kumar came to his house half an hour later.
Vivek said that he felt that he was being boycotted by a section of people in the industry and Akshay heard everything and offered him a practical solution. "Bata kya problem chal rahi hai teri life mein?’ he asked me and then let me vent out, air my problems, pain. He heard me patiently and said, ‘I can help you with a positive mindset. There are several shows going on, and you have blockbuster songs. I am shooting a lot, so I can’t do these shows, but whatever enquiries come to me, I will divert it to you. You do it," Oberoi shared in an interview with Mirchi Plus.
