Actor Vivek Oberoi, who commenced his acting career in the early 2000s rose to fame as the rugged action hero following his debut in Ram Gopal Varma`s `Company` and `Road`. The actor, who is the son of veteran star Suresh Oberoi recalled his initial days as an actor and stated that it wasn`t all hunky dory.
In an interview with Humans of Bombay Vivek looked back at the time he was shooting ‘Saathiya’ alongside Rani Mukerji. He said, “When I was shooting for `Saathiya`, `Company` hadn’t released. I was shooting on railway stations, I used to be sleeping on the benches because we had no budget. I used to change clothes in restaurant toilets because I didn’t have a makeup van. We had to shoot four scenes in a day. We were shooting for 18-20 hours a day. There was a time when I was carrying equipment, I had gone back to my assistant days after my debut.”
