Vivek Oberoi,Son of veteran actor Suresh Oberoi was born on September 3, 1976. Vivek Oberoi was the most talked about lad in town long before company released. The media went berserk describing his straight hair, sparkling eyes, handsome body and what not. What's more he chose to make an unusual debut. Ramgopal Varma's Company was not the typical Hindi film. And Vivek was not playing this sweet chocolatey hero, he was Chandu the dreaded underworld don. The film focussed on international organised crime giving the heroes Ajay Devgan and Vivek Oberoi enough platform to prove their histrionics as actors.

Vivek has adopted the Vivek Oberoi strategy where he would do just a few quality films at a time. So far the strategy has proven quite beneficial to him personaly although he still has to deliver his universal 'solo' hit!

For his first film, Ram Gopal Varma's "Company", Vivek Oberoi won the "best debut actor award" and also won "best supporting actor". He was pitted against Bollywood stalwart Ajay Devgan and Malayalam superstar Mohanlal. Vivek Oberoi will be seen in Samir Karnik Kyon Ho Gaya Na with Aishwarya Rai. Plus there are quite a few films that he has on hand to keep him busy till next year.
