From Heartbreak to Happy Marriage: Vivek Oberoi's Emotional Journey
Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi has recently opened up about his difficult experiences with heartbreak and how they shaped his perspective on love and relationships. The actor confessed that there was a time when he completely gave up on finding love after facing emotional setbacks.
The Dark Phase: Giving Up on Love
In a candid conversation with Pinkvilla, Vivek Oberoi admitted that heartbreaks made him bitter and withdrawn. "For a while, I went into a shell, I didn't want to be in a relationship," the actor revealed. He described reaching a point where he actively avoided romantic entanglements, convinced that relationships weren't for him.
The Saathiya actor explained his evolved perspective on past relationships, noting that "A person may be wrong for you, but right for somebody else." He emphasized the importance of timing in relationships, suggesting that sometimes two people meet at the wrong moment in their lives.
Finding True Love with Priyanka Alva
Everything changed for Vivek when he met Priyanka Alva. The couple got married on October 29, 2010, and have since built a beautiful life together. They are proud parents to two children - son Vivaan Veer Oberoi and daughter Ameyaa Nirvana Oberoi.
Vivek described how finding the right person completely transformed his outlook. "When you find the right person, all those things seem like a bad dream," he shared, referring to his past heartbreaks. The actor now looks back at those difficult times with laughter and perspective.
The Four Stages of Love According to Vivek
Vivek Oberoi shared his philosophical take on love, breaking it down into four distinct stages. "When you are young, it's easy to fall in love but as you grow older, you make mistakes in relationships, you learn from these mistakes," he explained.
The actor outlined his theory: "The journey is not about falling in love - it is highly romanticized, it is the beginning. But staying in love is the next challenge and the third part is when you grow in love. I believe I am at this stage with my wife. And the fourth part is when you rise in love."
Vivek emphasized that overcoming heartbreak requires positivity and time. "You can only overcome heart breaks by positivity. We should not take stress," he advised. The actor reflected on how problems that seemed overwhelming during youth eventually become laughable memories.
He perfectly captured this evolution by saying, "During heart breaks in childhood you felt life is over. It is finished. She has left me. What will I do? Cut to two years later, you are dating somebody else, you are happy, you are married with children and life moves on."
Today, Vivek Oberoi stands as a testament to the fact that past heartbreaks don't define one's future happiness. His journey from a heartbroken individual who swore off relationships to a happily married family man offers hope to anyone recovering from emotional pain.
