Mumbai: Ahead of the scheduled release of his new biographical film on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi has landed in a controversy with a recent tweet, in which he made joke about superstar Salman Khan, his former flame Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and her husband Abhishek, and comparing the Bollywood actress' personal life, with the recently-concluded Lok Sabha elections.
On micro-blogging site Twitter, Vivek posted that Aishwarya had once dated Salman Khan (calling it opinion poll), but later moved on to him (exit poll) and finally settled down with Abhishek Bachchan (the end result).
 
For this, he attached a picture collage, containing three images- first depicting Aishwarya with ex-boyfriend Salman, second showing her with Vivek, whom she also dated, and the third, projecting her with Abhishek and their daughter, Aaradhya.
 
As soon as his meme went viral, the Krrish 3 actor faced flak for unnecessarily degrading a woman, with some calling him a 'loser,' while others expressing anger over his insensitive tweet.
 
Chairperson of National Commission for Women (NCW) Rekha Sharma not only called Vivek's tweet 'distasteful' and 'disgusting,' but also threatened to serve a legal notice to him.Even actress Sonam Kapoor, who is currently at Cannes Film Festival, called the Saathiya actor's tweet as 'disgusting and classless'.
 
Retweeting the post with a comment, journalist Nidhi Razdan wrote, 'Distasteful. Move on Mr Oberoi'. Vivek will return to screen this Friday, with his biopic of PM Modi, delayed due to the Lok Sabha polls.(UNI)
