Vivek also talked about his feud with Salman Khan and stated that it was a rash, emotional decision made him when he was young. He further mentioned that Khan did not forgive him for the same.
In an interview with Dr Jai Madaan for his YouTube channel, Vivek said “There was a time when I entered a conflict zone in my career, and because of that, I faced a lot of financial strain. I was very stressed. I would get calls from the underworld. I would get threats. And I’d never experienced anything like this in my life. All of this happened together.”
The actor continued, “It was an emotional response. I was very young. I understood the repercussions and consequences of my actions much later. I was fine with dealing with the consequences of my actions, but I was bothered when my parents were threatened. My dad would pick up the phone, and someone would threaten him; my mother would answer the phone, and someone would threaten her. I was scared for my sister. Initially, we thought that they were prank calls. But later, the police confirmed that the threats were very real.”
