When Farah asked Vivek, "Lekin jinke liye aapne yeh sab kiya unhone kabhi bhi aapo thank you bola? Appreciate hua?", Vivek answered, "Nahi huya! Ulta yeh hua ki 'tum bahut immature ho'. Badme ye hogaya tha ki 'tumhe ye nahi karna chahiye tha'."

When Farah quizzed him on what triggered him to call a press conference to vent his anger against Salman, Vivek replied, "Uss waqt mere aaspas bahut log the aur woh apni 'RAI' dete the. Farah interrupted Vivek saying, "Accha word chunna aapne, 'RAI'. Vivek amended the word saying, "Mashwarra dete the and I went by their word. Moreover I was young that time and my father (Suresh Oberoi) too was not in town when I took that decision." Later he admitted that the same people who encouraged him to hold the press conference backed out.

A friend of Aishwarya had then told Times of India, "Vivek said on a talk show that he held the infamous press conference against Salman Khan to please Aishwarya when they were a couple. It's not the first time that her ex-flame has spoken about her openly. Same is the case with her former lover Salman, who has spoken about her in not-so complimentary tones in recent press and television interviews. This sort of undignified name-calling has naturally upset the Bachchans.''

 

"We feel what Mr Khan and Mr Oberoi are doing is very ungentlemanly. It's unchivalrous to talk about any lady who has moved on to a new phase in her life. It is especially wrong when the lady is very happily married. Her life revolves around her two families now. What happened in the past is done and over with.' Why bring her name up unnecessarily and that too in contexts that have long lost their validity? Vivek said on a talk show on Sunday that he had held the infamous press conference against Salman to please Aishwarya. Let me tell you, Aishwarya wasn't even aware that he was going to hold the press conference.''

 

'When she got to know about it, she was horrified. Vivek is an adult and he should take responsibility for his actions. Why blame Aishwarya if his career didn't take off. Do these two men realise how much her career suffered? She lost so many films because of her past associations. Same is the case with Salman, who has been discussing Aishwarya and the dos and don'ts of physical abuse in his interviews. Apparently, when a friend asked Salman why he can't stop talking about her, he shrugged and said he can't help it because the press keeps asking him about her."

 

"Agreed that the questions are provocative but the person being asked isn't being forced to reply. He could easily choose not to discuss such ugly topics in public. At the moment, Aishwarya is working on two of her most difficult and challenging roles in Raavana and Guzaarish. The last thing she needs is rude distractions from the past. She was so upset she could hardly control her tears on the sets of Guzaarish. All she kept saying is, ‘I'm living my life the way I want. I wish others would do the same. Just let me be.' "
