Did Vivek Oberoi Take a Dig at Aishwarya Rai with His ‘Plastic Smiles’ Comment?

Vivek Oberoi says, “Would’ve Become Plastic Myself Among People With Plastic Smiles”; Netizens call it a comment for Ex-girlfriend Aishwarya Rai

Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi recently made headlines with his candid comments during an interview on Dr. Jai Madaan’s YouTube channel. Reflecting on life, love, and personal growth, Vivek spoke about overcoming toxic relationships and finding a higher purpose. However, one particular statement has fans buzzing: his mention of breaking free from a “plastic life” surrounded by “plastic smiles.” Could this be a subtle dig at his past relationships, particularly with Aishwarya Rai? Let’s dive in.

Vivek Oberoi’s personal life has often overshadowed his professional accomplishments. His relationship with Aishwarya Rai and the ensuing public drama involving Salman Khan were the talk of Bollywood in the early 2000s. Years later, Vivek seems to have moved on, but his reflections in this interview have sparked fresh speculation.

When asked about Aishwarya and Salman, Vivek kept things diplomatic, wishing them well with a simple “God bless them.” However, it was his comment about avoiding a life of superficiality and breaking free from “plastic smiles” that had fans drawing their own conclusions. Could this be a reference to his time in Bollywood’s high-profile circles or, more specifically, his past with Aishwarya?

During the interview, Vivek opened up about the emotional turmoil of breakups. He likened heartbreak to a child dropping a lollipop in the mud — a poignant, if slightly quirky, analogy. He emphasized the importance of self-worth and recognizing when a relationship is no longer serving you.

“Sometimes, we go into relationships where people are using you, not valuing you,” Vivek said. “You go into that relationship because you haven’t identified your self-worth.”

Interestingly, when asked about Aishwarya’s husband, Abhishek Bachchan, Vivek had nothing but kind words, calling him “a sweetheart” and “a really nice person.” The contrast in tone has not gone unnoticed by fans, with some interpreting it as Vivek diplomatically distancing himself from the past while acknowledging the present gracefully.

Vivek Oberoi has reinvented himself as a philanthropist and entrepreneur, focusing on what he calls his “greater purpose” in life. He admitted that the celebrity spotlight magnifies everything, from achievements to personal struggles, and he no longer lets public trolling affect him.

“If people troll me now, I don’t care,” he said. “Because I know my purpose in life.”
