Vivek Oberoi says he doesn’t want his kids to feel ‘entitled,’ recalls how his privileged industry friends had ‘attitude’

Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi was recently seen in Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force opposite Sidharth Malhotra and Shilpa Shetty. Vivek, who recently completed 20 years in Bollywood, opened up about how his kids are not aware that he is famous. Vivek and his wife Priyanka Alva are parents to two kids–Vivaan Veer and Ameya Nirvana. The Saathiya actor discussed how he wants to bring up his children without any privilege.

In an interview with B4U Entertainment, Vivek said, “We don’t want to bring them (their kids) up with privilege. We don’t want to make the mistake of making our kids entitled. I have seen a lot of my friends while growing up from the industry, growing up entitled. That whole attitude, which I’m so sorry to say, but it’s so prevalent in my friends in Delhi. Your sense of identity should come from who you are, your values, your friends, your relationships, and what you contribute to society. It shouldn’t come to the fact that ‘you don’t know who my dad is.’ That shouldn’t be. That’s not the way I want to bring up our children.”

Vivek’s son recently found out that his dad is famous when they went to watch a game in Ahmedabad, and fans started chanting the actor’s name.

Vivek said, “He (His son) was with me to watch the cricket finals, and we were driving through the streets of Ahmedabad, and we started getting the fans on the roads, on the streets, people knocking on the windows, and so much love. And he was kind of taken aback. Actually, he didn’t tell me anything. He went back and told his mom, ‘Dad is famous, really famous. He’s kind of very popular, with people chasing him and chanting his name.'”
