Vivek Oberoi Backs Salman Khan’s Call to Stop Online Trolling

His remarks reflect a narrowing of past tensions as several stars publicly condemn body‑ and age‑shaming on social media.

Overview

  • Salman Khan used Bigg Boss 20’s Weekend Ka Vaar to denounce social media trolling and to defend women targeted for post‑pregnancy weight gain.
  • Vivek Oberoi told reporters at a Cancer Patients Aid Association event that people should avoid negativity and not engage in trolling, saying there are better things to do with life.
  • Several other celebrities, including Varun Dhawan, Neha Dhupia and filmmaker Rohit Shetty, have publicly supported Salman’s anti‑trolling stance.
  • The coverage recalls a 2003 public fallout between Salman and Vivek but notes that Vivek has previously called his past reaction immature and said he has moved on.
  • The exchange shows how television and public appearances are shaping a broader industry push against online abuse and could deepen celebrity-led calls for kinder social media behaviour.
