Vivek Oberoi considers 2025 to be more about SUBSTANCE; says, 'Got pulled into controversies that made me laugh at myself'- Exclusive
It seems 2025 was a very tumultuous year for Vivek Oberoi; the actor was in constant headlines either for his film 'Masti 4' or for his own interviews, which grabbed attention.
ETimes got in touch with the 'Saathiya' actor to know how 2025 has been for him and what lessons he learned through it, his resolutions, and much more.
Vivek Oberoi was in the news for his impressive net worth of Rs. 1200, though the actor never revealed the exact figures. In an interview, he clarified that he has earned enough money to buy the house and cars he desired and also said that his financial resources are strong enough to take care of generations to come.
Vivek shared, "2025 was less about spectacle and more about substance, and I spent most of it shedding the parts of me that no longer align with where I am steering this ship. I took some risks and delivered wins in ways I hadn't expected."
"It all taught me the hardest lesson in this industry: patience. I got pulled into controversies that made me laugh at myself, because only a couple years ago the magnitude would have riled me up!," Oberoi added further.
The 'Krrish' actor further shared about his family life in 2025. He said, "I got some vacation time, so the wife is happy with me."

I got pulled into controversies that made me laugh at myself, because only a couple years ago the magnitude would have riled me up!," Oberoi added further.
