Vivek set for Mauritius holiday (Movie Snippets)

Actor Vivek Oberoi, who had earlier cancelled his birthday plans as he was tied up with a blood donation campaign, now wants to make up by taking his wife and son to Mauritius for a vacation.

He turned 38 on Sep 3 and spent the day on promoting the Mega Blood Donation Drive. Before he gets busy with the shoot of his upcoming movie "Bank Chor", the actor wants to spend quality time with his family.

"This year I couldn't celebrate my birthday with my family as I was busy with blood donation drive. I have managed to squeeze out some time for them for a small trip before I start shooting for YRF's 'Bank Chor'," Vivek said in a statement.

He was last seen in "Krrish 3".
