In the viral video, Vivek Oberoi speaks in Hindi, highlighting the unique and nurturing practices of the Bishnoi community. He states, “Try looking up the Bishnoi community on Google. You won’t find a scene like that across the world. In every household, including mine, we feed cow’s milk to kids. There’s only one community in the whole world – the Bishnoi community – where if a fawn’s mother dies, the Bishnoi mothers take it in their laps and feed them milk like they feed their kids. You won’t find this anywhere else in the world.”

The resurfacing of this video has not gone unnoticed by social media users, many of whom are drawing ironic connections to the current conflict between Salman Khan and Lawrence Bishnoi. One user remarked, “Dushman Ka Dushman Lawrence Ka Dost (An enemy of his enemy is Lawrence’s friend),” while another suggested, “He’s adding fuel to the fire.” This highlights the complexities of relationships in the Bollywood industry, especially as they relate to ongoing disputes.
Vivek Oberoi’s remarks come with a backdrop of a long-standing feud with Salman Khan. In 2003, Vivek claimed during a press conference that Salman had threatened him due to his relationship with Aishwarya Rai, which followed a tumultuous breakup between her and Salman. Reflecting on those years in a recent interview, Vivek stated, “In hindsight, I went through a lot of stuff that was unnecessary. A lot of lobbies, a lot of repressive stories.”
The resurfacing of Vivek’s video coincides with Lawrence Bishnoi’s public resentment towards Salman Khan, especially following the recent murder of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique. Reports suggest that Siddique was killed due to his connections with Salman, with authorities believing that Bishnoi orchestrated the attack. A Facebook post linked to Bishnoi’s group warned, “Whoever helps Salman Khan and the Dawood Ibrahim gang, keep your accounts in order.” This further complicates the already tense situation between the parties involved.
As the drama unfolds, both Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan continue to focus on their respective careers. Vivek was last seen in Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force on Prime Video, while Salman is currently busy with the shooting of Bigg Boss 18 and his upcoming film Sikandar. The intersection of personal rivalries and communal sentiments continues to captivate audiences and fuel discussions in the world of Bollywood.
