Early life


Vivek Oberoi was born in Hyderabad, Telangana, to a Punjabi father, Suresh Oberoi, a veteran character actor. In 1974, Suresh married Yashodhara, whom he describes as "a girl from a Punjabi business family who had lived in the south", in Chennai.[1]

Because of his mother’s family being assimilated in the region, Vivek is himself fluent in Tamil.[2]

Oberoi went on to study at Mayo College, Ajmer and Mithibai College, Mumbai.[3] At an actors' workshop in London, he was spotted by the director of New York University who took Vivek to New York, where he completed his master's degree in film acting.[4]

Vivek also worked as a scriptwriter in India.[5]

Vivek produced a film named Dekh Indian Circus in 2011.[16] The film was featured in the 16th Busan Film festival, winning the Audience Choice Award for Best Film from 3000 films worldwide and amongst 380 films screened. In 16 years of the history of Busan, this is the First Indian Film to win the award. The film has already received rave reviews from international critics and reporters from The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Screen International.[17]

Personal life


Oberoi's full first name, Vivekanand,[23] is based on that of the Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda; his father and grandfathers were followers of the monk.[24] He says he dropped Anand when he joined movies out of respect for Vivekananda, as he considered it would be embarrassing romancing and dancing on screen with the name of the monk.[24]
