Vivek Oberoi reveals Akshay Kumar helped him during his lowest 

During a recent interview with Mirchi Plus, Vivek Oberoi shared that Akshay Kumar approached him during his toughest period and inquired, "What's going on in your life? Tell me about the problems you're facing."

"He allowed me to express myself, to share my struggles and pain. He listened attentively and then offered his support, saying, "I can assist you in developing a positive mindset. There are numerous ongoing shows and you have hit songs. I have a busy shooting schedule, so I won't be able to do these shows myself, but any inquiries that come my way, I'll redirect them to you. You should take them up."

"Who does that! Because of that, I started getting back on stage, fans started cheering, and a good positive energy was around me. My frustration was I was doing hit films, was getting awards, but why was I not getting work. Why was I getting boycotted like this? He didn't say I will stand up with you, fight this war against this lobby. He gave a practical, simple solution, which gave me money, good feeling, love, and a lot of fun,".
