Akshay Oberoi opens up about cousin Vivek Oberoi: “Offered no help”
Akshay Oberoi recently opened up about his early challenges in the industry and the absence of support from his cousin, actor Vivek Oberoi.
Speaking candidly on the YouTube show Cyrus Says, Akshay explained why he never approached Vivek when he first arrived in Mumbai to pursue acting. He revealed that there was no real line of communication between them at the time. “Unfortunately, for whatever reason, I couldn’t just pick up the phone and speak to him. That’s simply how it was. I never reached out, and he never offered,” he said.
Akshay went on to share that, until recently, many people were unaware of their familial connection. As his profile has grown, the link to the Oberoi family has become more widely recognised. He noted that their families were not particularly close in the past, though that dynamic appears to be gradually shifting.

Despite the lack of direct assistance, Akshay acknowledged that Vivek’s success served as a source of inspiration. “I’m grateful, because in some way, their achievements made me believe it was possible for me too. I was inspired, even if no help came my way,” he added.
