Akshay Oberoi addresses his connection with Vivek Oberoi
Recently, in a candid interview with Digital Commentary, Akshay Oberoi reflected on his familial ties in Bollywood and the impact of nepotism on his career. Despite being the nephew of veteran actor Suresh Oberoi and cousin to Vivek Oberoi, Akshay revealed that these relationships did not significantly influence his journey in the film industry. Talking about his relationship, Akshay remarked:
“I don’t think a lot of people even know (that I’m related to them)… most people do not know. Toh actually, ye tag mere upar kabhi laga hi nahi… Ab jaa kar ke because you know, when you get a little bit popular, people want to know more about you. Toh ab jaakar meri kundli pura log nikaal rahe hai.”
