Vivek Oberoi Opens Up About 'Industry Has More Plastic Than Tupperware' Comment: 'They Know Who They Are...'
Vivek Oberoi said that he was young and immature when he made this comment.

Vivek Oberoi has clarified his ‘our industry has more plastic’ comment, which he made back in 2009, in a conversation with Farah Khan. The actor said that he was immature when he passed this remark as it’s not something that should be said out loud. For the unversed, Vivek had then said, “Our industry has more plastic than the company that makes Tupperware boxes.”

In a recent conversation with India TV, Vivek clarified, “That’s not something to say out loud. They know who they are and you know it, too. The way I made this remark back then, it’s been a while, now I am older and more mature.”

He added, “It’s up to an individual whether or not they want to be plastic. It’s you who chooses to be real. Some people become plastic because they fear that people will judge their real side. Some people might lack the strength to be real. And others become plastic because they don’t know any other way to survive. They think this is how it is — networking, pleasing people, lying to them behind their backs. But, when you realise that all this is a waste of time, and being real is the ultimate satisfaction, you live in a meditative state and enjoy life.”

Back in 2009, Vivek Oberoi appeared on Farah Khan’s show Tere Mere Beech Mein. The actor spoke about the infamous press conference that he had conducted. Vivek told Farah, “As soon as I sat down to do the press conference, I realised I was doing something wrong. My inner voice told me to not do this and go have a conversation man-to-man. But, when you have too many people giving you suggestions, you seem to suppress your own mind and listen to others. I ended up saying things I shouldn’t have.”

He added, “Soon after the press conference, people who suggested that I should do it in the first place also distanced themselves from me overnight. Now, I laugh at my immaturity and whatever I had done. But, back then I was really stressed. I was young, I was 24, I was in love and many go crazy when in love.” He had made this ‘plastic’ remark on the show.

What's your reaction?
