Vivek Oberoi: Will SRK Be Forgotten in 25 Years?
20 Nov
Summary
- Vivek Oberoi predicts Shah Rukh Khan might be forgotten by 2050.
- He believes younger generations may not know older stars like Raj Kapoor.
- Oberoi previously worked menial jobs before his acting debut.
Actor Vivek Oberoi has offered a stark prediction about the longevity of fame in the entertainment industry. He posits that by the year 2050, the current generation of moviegoers might scarcely recall the name Shah Rukh Khan, likening it to how contemporary youth may not recognize the iconic status of Raj Kapoor.
Oberoi's contemplation extends to the inevitable passage of time, suggesting that even today's biggest stars will eventually recede into historical footnotes. He draws a parallel between the fading memory of 1960s film legends and the potential future obscurity of contemporary icons, emphasizing that all eventually become part of history.
Before achieving stardom, Oberoi himself experienced significant career struggles. He revealed he previously assisted choreographer Farah Khan by cleaning rehearsal spaces and providing refreshments to dancers, deliberately keeping his father's identity hidden as he worked his way up in the industry.
