Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan may share one of Bollywood’s most widely discussed past controversies, but the two actors appear to be on the same page when it comes to one issue — online trolling.
Vivek recently reacted to Salman’s strong message against social media trolls after the Bigg Boss 20 host spoke about body-shaming, personal attacks and the negativity celebrities regularly face online.
During an interaction at a charity event, Vivek was asked about Salman’s comments. The actor made his position clear, saying that trolling is a negative activity and people have many more positive things to focus on in life.
Given the history between Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan, his agreement with Salman’s broader stand against trolling has naturally drawn attention.
Vivek Oberoi Reacts to Salman Khan’s Stand Against Trolling
When asked about the ongoing conversation around social media trolls, Vivek did not get into individual controversies or target anyone personally.
Instead, he spoke about the larger issue of online negativity.
“Trolling karna bhi nahi chahiye, trolling negative cheez hai.”
Vivek further suggested that people have plenty of positive things they can do rather than spending their time spreading negativity online.
His comments come at a time when Salman’s recent remarks on Bigg Boss 20 have triggered a broader discussion about the way celebrities are judged for their appearance, age and personal lives.
What Did Salman Khan Say About Online Trolls?
During a recent Bigg Boss 20 Weekend Ka Vaar episode, Salman Khan strongly criticised the culture of online trolling and body-shaming.
The actor addressed comments made about celebrities gaining weight and also spoke about the physical changes women experience during and after pregnancy.
Salman did not explicitly name Katrina Kaif while making those remarks. However, his comments came amid online discussion surrounding Katrina’s post-pregnancy appearance, which led several reports and social media users to interpret his remarks in that context.
Salman questioned why natural changes in a woman’s body after pregnancy should become a reason for trolling.
He also turned the conversation towards himself.
The actor addressed people who frequently comment on his age, weight and physique. In a moment that subsequently went viral, Salman removed his shirt during the episode while responding to criticism surrounding his physical appearance.
His remarks quickly became a talking point across social media and entertainment circles.
Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan Find Common Ground Years After Their Fallout
What makes Vivek’s latest reaction particularly noteworthy is his well-documented history with Salman.
The Vivek Oberoi-Salman Khan controversy dates back to 2003, when Vivek held a press conference and alleged that Salman had threatened him.
The episode became one of the most talked-about Bollywood controversies of its time and remained associated with both actors for years.
However, Vivek’s latest remarks were not about revisiting that chapter.
He did not discuss their past equation while responding to the question about trolling. His comments remained focused on the broader idea that online negativity should not be encouraged.
More than two decades after their highly publicised fallout, the two actors therefore appear to share a similar view on at least this particular subject: trolling and unnecessary negativity online serve little purpose.
Richa Chadha and Rohit Shetty Also Back Salman Khan’s Message
Salman Khan’s anti-trolling remarks have received reactions from other members of the film industry as well.
Richa Chadha supported the broader conversation against body-shaming, particularly when it comes to women and new mothers.
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty also weighed in after Salman’s comments went viral. He shared a clip involving Salman and addressed online trolls through his social media.
The reactions have helped turn what began as a segment on Bigg Boss 20 into a wider conversation about celebrity culture and social media behaviour.
Katrina Kaif Body-Shaming Debate Adds Context to Salman’s Remarks
Salman’s statement also attracted attention because of the discussion surrounding Katrina Kaif.
Comments about Katrina’s appearance had circulated online, with some social media users discussing changes in her appearance following pregnancy.
A Pakistani radio personality who had made remarks about Katrina’s appearance later apologised to the actress as the controversy received wider attention.
While Salman never directly named Katrina during his Bigg Boss 20 remarks, his comments about pregnancy and body-shaming were widely discussed in connection with the debate.
The conversation has since expanded beyond any one celebrity, raising questions about how public figures — particularly women — are scrutinised online for natural changes in their appearance.
Vivek Oberoi’s Reaction Brings Fresh Attention to the Debate
With Vivek Oberoi now agreeing with Salman Khan’s stand on trolling, the issue has gained another layer of attention.
Their past makes the reaction notable, but Vivek’s message itself was relatively straightforward.
Rather than encouraging another celebrity-versus-celebrity controversy, the actor chose to focus on positivity and questioned the value of trolling people online.
There has been no indication that Vivek’s statement represents a reconciliation between the two actors, and his remarks should not be interpreted as such.
What the latest development does show is that, despite their much-discussed history, Vivek Oberoi and Salman Khan appear to agree on one thing — online trolling and unnecessary negativity should not be encouraged.
