Meet actor who once sold products door to door, one film changed his life, became a star, was called ‘next Shah Rukh Khan', built Rs 1200 core business, he is…
He may have entered Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma's Company (2002), but Vivek Oberoi's biggest role has unfolded far beyond the silver screen. While many remember him for films like Saathiya and Masti, few know that this actor-turned-entrepreneur built a business empire worth Rs 1200 crore, largely without help, not even from his superstar father, Suresh Oberoi. Despite being born into a film family, Vivek's journey was anything but privileged. In a recent podcast interview, the actor peeled back the layers of his public persona to reveal a sharply honed business mind, one that took root when he was just 10. At an age when most kids were lost in video games, Vivek was busy selling door-to-door and pitching marketing strategies to his father. 'Dad would bring home a product and ask me to make a business plan. Then he'd quiz me — 'How will you sell this?' That's how I learned,' Vivek shared. But there was no silver spoon. In his own words, 'He told me, 'I'm rich. You're not. You'll become rich — but on your own.' The words stuck. By the age of 19, Vivek had already earned $3 million for his first company. He sold it four years later at 23. Today, he claims to have taken nine companies public in the Indian stock market and is preparing to launch four more. On the professional front, Vivek hasn't delivered many hits lately. His last prominent appearance was in PM Narendra Modi (2019), where he played the lead role. In 2024, he appeared in the historical action film Kesari Veer alongside Suniel Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi, though the project didn't make major waves. For now, his film calendar appears empty. But even without a blockbuster, Vivek Oberoi is far from irrelevant. His sharp pivot from screen to stocks has redefined his legacy, one built not on box office numbers but on boardroom deals.

Vivek Oberoi's Net Worth: Bollywood actor credits early stock market exposure for building ₹1,200 crore fortune
Actor Vivek Oberoi, whose acting career didn't went well, has turned himself into a successful businessman by creating a ₹ 1,200 crore biz empire. During a recent interview on Owais Andrabi's Dubai Property Insider podcast, Vivek revealed that his father only played the role of a mentor in his life and never helped him financially. Vivek, son of actor and politician Suresh Oberoi, made his Bollywood debut in 2002 with Ram Gopal Verma's film 'Company', and became a household name with movie 'Saathiya' (2002), directed by Shaad Ali. Talking about how he built such a big empire, Vivek said that his father groomed him regarding economics and business from a very young age. 'He would bring me a product and would ask me to create an entire business plan about how I was going to sell it. I started understanding the nuances of business from the age of 10 because I was going from door to door to sell that stuff.' Vivek further said that his father used to tell him 'I am a rich man; you are not. You will get there, but you have to do it on your own.' He also credited his exposure to the stock market trading and real estate investments during his teenage years for shaping up his entrepreneurial journey. He said: 'I was able to raise $3 million for my first company, and I was only 19, and I made a lot of money for my investors and myself, and I sold the company by the time I was 23. If I hadn't been applying myself for all those years, it never would have been possible. Because I put in that work, now I have been able to take nine companies public on the Indian stock market, and I am planning to take four more.' As of April 2025 Vivek Oberoi has a net worth of ₹ 1200 crore, according to Forbes India. His ventures include BNW Real Estate Developers, a prominent player in the UAE luxury market, and Solitario, a lab-grown diamond brand. Other business ventures in which Vivek has invested include global brand accelerator Impresario Global, a gin brand called Rutland Square Spirits, and vehicle care platform ReadyAssist. He relocated to Dubai since the Covid pandemic.

Only BS-VI compliant trucks will be allowed to enter Delhi from Nov 1: Govt
Aiming to curb the entry of polluting commercial vehicles into Delhi, the Rekha Gupta government plans to prohibit the entry of all commercial vehicles that are not compliant with BS-VI from November 1, an official said on Sunday. In addition to curbs on entry of polluting goods vehicles, the Delhi government is also gearing up to plans to stop sale of fuel to end-of-life (EoL) or over-age vehicles from July 1. The city's Transport department recently issued a circular clarifying that even if a commercial vehicle is carrying Delhi-bound essential commodities or providing essential services in the city it will not be allowed to enter the city after October 31 if it is not BS-VI compliant. Bharat Stage VI or BS-VI is the most stringent emission standard set by the Indian government to regulate air pollutants from vehicles. The Delhi government's crackdown against polluting trucks is based on the latest direction issued by the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM), said a transport department official. Citing CAQM's direction number 88 to curb rising air pollution from commercial goods vehicles, the transport department said: "All transport/commercial vehicle viz. Light Goods Vehicles, Medium Goods Vehicle and Heavy Goods Vehicles -– that are not BS-VI complaint will be strictly prohibited from entering National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi from November 1, 2025." Soon after the Bharatiya Janata Party came to power in Delhi, the Forest and Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa had hinted at a possible ban on sale of fuel to vehicles older than 15 years and constituted a team to identify and restrict movement of overage, polluting vehicles in the city. The transport department has now defined EoL vehicles as those which are no longer validly registered vehicles, whether running on petrol, CNG or diesel. These also include petrol vehicles more than 15 years old and diesel vehicles more than 10 years old. The CAQM has also issued a direction that all EoL vehicles identified through Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras or other such devices installed at fuel pump stations would be denied fuel from July 1 in the NCT of Delhi. The transport department has warned that fuel pump owners found supplying fuel to EoL vehicles may also face action.
