Ash working with sanjay leela bhansali

Vivek Oberoi, the handsome hunk of bollywood who once dated gorgeous actress and now Bachchan bahu, Aishwarya Rai, seems still terrified of the not-so-pleasant memories and hence tries to skip her as much as possible.


An instance of such Aishwarya phobia was evident doing the shooting of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ at Mehboob studios, where Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya were shooting for the film. Vivek Oberoi, who was also present in the vicinity for his upcoming film ‘Kurbaan’ with Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor, could not gather courage to come to Bhansali’s sets to meet his friend Hrithik Roshan in the presence of Aishwarya Rai.


In fact, before coming to see Hrithik Roshan, Vivek discreetly enquired about the presence of Aishwarya, and only when told that she was not present, that he turned up for a chat with his old friend.



Sources from the set of the Sanjay Bhansali’s ‘Guzaarish’ say that Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi were very close friends, but had not been keeping in touch with each other due to their busy schedule. But, when they finally met at Mehboob studios, they got on like a house on fire and talked about almost everything from personal to professional lives.

In fact, Hrithik Roshan and Vivek Oberoi have spent their childhood in Juhu area where their families lived, and so they have known each other before coming to films. As they got busy with their respective assignments, the two heroes could meet only at social dos and functions, where it was difficult to unwind. It was for the first time that they got to spend around two hours with each other and they made full use of it.



Aishwarya Rai factor has special connection with both stars. While, Hrithik Roshan was only professionally involved with Aishwarya Rai and gave two most successful films like Yashraj Films’ ‘Dhoom’ and Ashutosh Gowarikar’s ‘Jodha Akbar’ with her, Vivek Oberoi was romantically involved with the beautiful lass.

It was due to Aishwarya Rai that Vivek Oberoi had confronted Salman Khan(Aishwarya’s ex boyfriend) and told a press conference unpleasant things about him. Salman Khan was so furious that till date (when Ash has already ditched Vivek) has not forgotten or forgiven Vivek Oberoi for that incident.

Vivek Oberoi even publicly apologized to Salman Khan during a show, but Salman Khan refused to budge from his position and forgive Vivek.

Perhaps that incident is still fresh in the mind of Vivek Oberoi and that is why he wants to avoid Aishwarya Rai at all cost,…. what say??
