Suryaa Entertainment Desk: Actor Vivek Oberoi has spoken about his experiences with ostracization within the Bollywood film industry. In a recent interview, Oberoi stated that despite receiving awards and recognition for his talent, he was sidelined by the industry at a certain stage in his career.
