The Bollywood was buzzing with rumors of Ash and Vivek being more than just friends and one person wasn`t very happy with all that. No points for geussing his name, he is none other than the spoilt brat, Salman Khan. But this time things got a bit out of hand as he gave poor Vivek threatening calls and advised him to stay away from Ash. But Vivek didn`t turn out to be the usual Mr. good two shoes and hit back at Salman. He held a press conference at Juhu and told that Salman Khan had abused him and threatened to kill him. "On Saturday night between 12.30 am. and 5 am, an inebriated Salman called me as many as 41 times on my mobile, threatening and abusing me, alleging that I was having affairs with his former girl friends, Aishwarya Rai and Somy Ali and co-stars Rani Mukherji and Diya Mirza. He even hinted about his links with the underworld and threatened to kill me."

Salman, however, denied calling Vivek 41 times and laughed away the entire incident saying, "Vivek is a kid who is paranoid about something." He denied mentioning the underworld to Vivek. Vivek alleged that Salman also abused his father and actor, Suresh Oberoi, and his former fiancee, Gurpreet. "Enough is enough," he said. "Someone has to put pressure on Salman — be it his family, the media or me — to make him accountable." Vivek feels his cinematic colleague "needs psychiatric help not just for his unacceptable behaviour but also for his problem with alcoholism, his attitude towards women and for his warped sense of machoism."

Vivek said: "Aishwarya called me on April 30 morning and said Salman had been sending her messages the previous night in which he said he was a ‘real man' and was ‘not scared of Vivek Oberoi'. The messages also contained threats about how he would ‘fight Vivek' in order to prove who the ‘real man' was. Ash wanted to know if all was well. It was then that I told her that Salman had been calling me all night, threatening and abusing me." Vivek said Aishwarya broke up with Salman over six months ago and that she doesn't take his calls anymore. "She is free to see whom she wants, get married, have an affair... he has no business to harass her like this."
