Actor Vivek Oberoi, who will soon be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga and Prabhas’s highly anticipated film Spirit, has triggered a major controversy with his recent remarks about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. During an interview with Pink Villaa, Vivek made a bold statement suggesting that future generations may not even know who Shah Rukh Khan is. His comments quickly spread across social media, sparking a heated debate among fans and netizens.

Vivek explained that the current generation is largely unaware of legendary stars and films from the 1960s, and he used this observation to make a broader point about how fame fades over time. He said that just as many youngsters today don’t know who Raj Kapoor was, children in 2050 might ask, “Who is Shah Rukh Khan?” He added that even though many consider SRK the god of cinema, history eventually pushes everyone into obscurity.

The remark immediately offended Shah Rukh Khan fans, who felt the statement undermined the superstar’s legacy. However, a section of social media users defended Vivek, arguing that he used SRK only as an example to illustrate a larger point about generational change and cultural memory. This mixed reaction has kept the discussion trending across platforms.

Amidst the controversy, Vivek Oberoi is also busy promoting his latest release, Mastii 4, the fourth instalment of the comedy franchise starring Ritesh Deshmukh and Aftab Shivdasani. Meanwhile, the excitement around Spirit continues to grow, with Vivek playing an important role alongside Prabhas in the action drama directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. Despite the debate surrounding his comments, the actor remains in the spotlight as both his projects draw attention.
