He has often had a ''blow hot blow cold'' relationship with Bollywood heartthrob Salman Khan. Vivek Oberoi, whose ''war of words'' and ''unanswered apologies'' to Salman have been making television headlines, says he has decided that he will no longer talk badly about anybody.

''I think I have finished with all the things I started. I have decided not to talk badly about anybody. If somebody else wants to continue talking badly about whomever else including me then they can,'' Vivek said in an interview to a TV channel.

In an interview to talk show host Koel Purie in 'On the Couch with Koel', telecast on Headlines Today last night, Vivek said being called an 'Idiot' by Salman in an interview was actually a compliment for him.

''Viewed in the current context, I take that as a compliment. You know the '3 Idiots', I would like to be the '4th'one. I hope Raju (Rajkumar Hirani) is listening,' 'laughed Vivek.

At the same time, Vivek, indicating that he was not afraid of a showdown with Salman, asserted that he could win a fight with Salman if such a situation arose.

''I mean it sounds like the expected answer would be obviously the brawn man. But it does not work that way. I mean, I have had my share of fights and I think I can hold my own,'' the actor said.
