Suresh Oberoi reveals the equation he shares with Amitabh Bachchan

Speaking along the same lines, Suresh Oberoi talked about the equation he shared with Amitabh Bachchan. Considering how his son, Vivek had a shared past with Amitabh’s now bahu, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, one would assume that the two senior actors share a cold war. However, in defence, Suresh mentioned that he and Amitabh Bachchan were never really friends, but just good colleagues to one another. In his words:
“I was never a friend of his. I was his co-star. We had a relationship industry wise. My friendship was with Danny Mukul. Yes, Mr Bachchan invited me for his birthday but it was fine. And he doesn’t let people know about most of the things. But whenever we meet, we are really nice to each other.”

Suresh Oberoi on whether he has a soured relationship with Salim Khan and Salman Khan

One can never forget Vivek Oberoi’s public claims against Salman Khan for ruining his career, just because the former dated the latter’s ex-GF, Aishwarya Rai. Coming back to Suresh Oberoi, the senior actor was asked whether he shared any kind of sour equation with Salman Khan and his father, Salim Khan. In his response, Suresh mentioned:
“I was in relief in Vivek‘s case at that time and now also. Still we all meet each other very nicely. Whenever Salman Khan meets me, he hides the cigarette and then talks to me as a part of respect. I always tell Vivek to touch Salim ji’s feet. I also respect Salim Bhai. Things happened but my relationships are good enough.”
