Vivek Oberoi Sings Praises for Pakistan’s Love

In a heartwarming incident, Vivek Oberoi encountered a Pakistani fan who expressed their admiration during a casual drive through Dubai. As he cruised in a Bentley with interviewer Kamiya Jani, the fan waved and shouted, “Love you Vivek, from Pakistan.” Reflecting on this interaction, Vivek remarked on the profound sense of unity he feels in Dubai. “When you come to Dubai, you realize, no matter how strongly Indian you are, you see the way Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Nepalis, Sri Lankans love you. You start to lose the sense of boundaries,” he explained. This realization made him question the existence of any animosity between the nations, highlighting the overwhelming love for Bollywood that transcends borders.

Bridging Boundaries Through Shared Love

Living in Dubai with his family, Vivek often witnesses firsthand how the city acts as a melting pot for people from different South Asian countries. He emphasized that Dubai serves as a neutral ground where Indians and Pakistanis can interact without prejudice. “It is quite controversial to say this, but the way they love our food, our culture, our films, the way they love us, they give us so much love and respect, where is the hate?” Vivek wondered. He acknowledged that while a few individuals might harbor negativity, the general sentiment is overwhelmingly positive.

Further underscoring this cross-border fellowship was a recent event where singer Atif Aslam spotted Vivek dancing at his concert in Manchester. Inviting him to join in, Atif and Vivek created a memorable moment that captivated the audience, including Pakistani actress Saba Qamar. This spontaneous act of joy and unity resonated widely on social media, showcasing the deep cultural connection shared by people across the borders.
