I've had most number of obituaries written for my career: Vivek Oberoi

Vivek Oberoi says the kind of lobbying and constant disempowerment he faced in his career is a stuff for a tell-all biography, where people have written him off time and again, but he has survived them all.

The actor said he is a survivor by nature and this positive mentality has kept him going all these years.

"I've been that guy who probably has the world record for the most amount of obituaries written for his career. 'He is done, he is finished, after this it's all over.' I just keep laughing at it because I'm a survivor by nature.

"I've had to face a lot of disempowerment, lobbies, and lots of crazy stuff. Maybe one day, I'll write a tell-all biography!" Vivek told PTI.

The actor in his career of more than 15 years has realised that he can't give the power to anyone to neither write him off nor put him on a pedestal.

"I had to claw-back a lot and fight for my power. That's why today I don't give my power to anyone else to turn my destiny. I don't expect that because a show is successful, it's all me. It isn't, it's a collaborative effort. If it fails and you write yourself off, who's going to believe in you, if you don't?"
