Vivek Oberoi's 'Kaun SRK' comment gets people talking
Vivek Oberoi stirred up conversation after saying, "In 2050, people might say, 'Kaun Shah Rukh Khan?' (Who is Shah Rukh Khan?)" and "Just as people today might ask, 'Who is Raj Kapoor?'"
He added that "History eventually relegates us all to nothingness," suggesting even the biggest stars can fade from memory.
The remark quickly went viral and sparked debate online.
What was he really saying?
Many interpreted Oberoi's comments as not taking a dig at Shah Rukh Khan, but rather reflecting on how fame doesn't last forever.
Using Raj Kapoor as an example, he pointed out that while legends are respected, new generations may not know them well.
His point: public memory changes with time.
How did people react?
Social media jumped in to defend Oberoi, with many saying his words were misunderstood and highlighting the thoughtful tone behind them.
Some users even shared stories of once-famous stars who are now barely remembered, echoing his take on fame's short shelf life.
