While on MISSION ISTAANBUL, its lead actor has turned a new leaf. “I made a lot of mistakes, I rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, I got carried away. I went through hell, personally and professionally. The media turned its back on me. Some of the projects I was associated with, evaporated into thin air. Everything I did, backfired,” Vivek reminisces as we get into the flashback mode.
“But,” he continues in the same breath, “I realized that the problem was with me, not anyone else. If almost everyone was talking ill of me, if almost everyone had trained their guns on me, it only went to prove that I was at fault, it only meant that I need to mend ways. As you sow so shall you reap.”
Vivek also admits that the Salman Khan episode - calling the entire media to his house to malign Salman - is something he repents. “I used a public platform to malign him. When I felt I must apologize, I did so publicly, not discreetly,” he admits honestly.
Quiz Vivek whether he’d work with Salman, Abhishek or Ash, pat comes the reply, “Of course, I would. I am a professional and so are they.” Meanwhile, Vivek begins shooting for Tips’ new film shortly, followed by Karan Johar’s new project.
