Mumbai, Sep 23: Actor Vivek Oberoi, who has often found himself at the centre of discussions surrounding his equation with Salman Khan, has reacted to the superstar’s strong stand against social media trolls.

In an exclusive conversation with media, Vivek chose to focus on positivity when asked about the constant trolling and conversations around Salman.

“There are so many things in life to do positive, why should we do negative, why should we talk?” Vivek said.

Salman, during the recent Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss, questioned the mentality behind trolling and said that people should look after their own lives and families instead of constantly targeting others.

He had also come out in defence of women being body-shamed after pregnancy, in an apparent reference to the trolling faced by his close friend and former co-star Katrina Kaif over her post-pregnancy weight gain.

Without naming Katrina, Salman had questioned why anyone should troll a woman simply for gaining weight after giving birth.

He said that gaining weight during and after pregnancy is normal and that when she returns to films, she will get fit again, adding that she may simply want to spend time with her family at present.

He also criticised the culture of body- and age-shaming celebrities online, calling such trolling unnecessary and “dirty”.

Vivek, meanwhile has previously spoken about the difficult phase in his life when his equation with Salman became a subject of intense public discussion.

The two actors had a very public fallout in 2003, when Vivek, who was then associated with Aishwarya Rai, held a press conference alleging that Salman had threatened him over the phone.

Vivek claimed that Salman had repeatedly called him and objected to his relationship with Aishwarya, who was reportedly once dating Salman.

Over the years, Vivek has maintained that he would rather move forward and focus on the positive aspects of his life.

For the background score, he added some of his iconic lines such as “Prem naam hai mera, Prem Chopra, nanga nahayega kya nichodega kya and main woh bala hoon jo sheeshe se pattar ko todta hai.”

Jackie then went on to celebrate four years of the film “Atithi Bhooto Bhava,” which released in 2022.

Mumbai, Sep 22: Actor Divyenndu, who delivered a memorable performance as ‘Liquid’ in Luv Ranjan’s 2011 romantic comedy ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’ extended his best wishes to the team of the upcoming romantic entertainer ‘Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar’.

On Tuesday, Divyenndu shared the trailer of the forthcoming drama on his Instagram handle. He drew a playful connection to his iconic character ‘Liquid’ as he welcomed the young cast of ‘Pyaar Ka Punchnama’.

Taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane, Divyenndu wrote on his official account, “Kuch pehle jaisa laga kya?? Lekin yeh woh hai nahin.. Toh aaieye hum sab aur specially Liquid ki taraf se welcome karte hain!! All the best to the team of Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar @sparshwaliaa @alishachopra1 @kuunnnaaalllll @_vaidyasakshi @tusharchhibber @sargun_kaur.luthra @anujpsaini @luv_films (sic).”

Made under the direction of Anuj Saini, ‘Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar’ marks the debut of multiple actors, including Sparsh Walia, Alisha Chopra, Kunal Vaid, Sakshi Vaidya, Tushar Chhibber, and Sargun Kaur Luthra.

Luv Ranjan revealed that launching 6 newcomers in ‘Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar’ has been both a challenging and exciting experience for him.

“Introducing newcomers is always a challenge, but it’s the one I genuinely look forward to. Fifteen years ago, I got that opportunity with Pyaar Ka Punchnama, and when something similar came along with Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar, I knew I didn’t want to let it pass. As a writer, creating a world for six new faces and watching them find their own rhythm within it was something I really enjoyed. When the people feel right, the story finds its own energy, and I’m excited for audiences to meet them,” the filmmaker explained.

Presented by Luv Films and jointly backed by Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg, ‘Pehla Pyaar Doosri Baar’ is expected to reach the cinema halls on 23rd October this year.
