Vivek Oberoi Backs Stance Against Celebrity Trolling After Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 20 Response

Social media toxicity and cyberbullying directed at public figures have sparked renewed discourse across the Hindi film fraternity. The subject gained significant traction following a memorable moment on Bigg Boss Season 20, where host Salman Khan addressed online detractors by shedding his shirt during the Weekend Ka Vaar broadcast, directly rebutting critics who had targeted his physical fitness and age. While numerous industry peers rallied behind Khan’s unapologetic response, actor Vivek Oberoi has now offered his own candid reflections on the widespread menace of digital harassment.

During an appearance at a community initiative organized by the Cancer Patients Aid Association (CPAA), where he spent time interacting with pediatric cancer patients, Oberoi was asked about the ongoing conversation surrounding celebrity body-shaming and online vitriol. Responding to queries regarding the stand taken on national television, Oberoi delivered a straightforward critique of malicious social media engagement, urging users to redirect their energy toward meaningful community building rather than anonymous cruelty. Emphasizing personal perspective, Oberoi questioned the utility of generating hostility, noting that tearing others down yields zero value and urging digital audiences to actively share uplifting content across social platforms instead.
