With two consecutive flops to his credit and Aishwarya out of his life, Vivek Oberoi is silently going through the leanest phase of his life.

After all, It can't be easy being dumped by one of Bollywood's most beautiful leading ladies. But for Vivek Oberoi, it might just help his career.

The split between Oberoi and mega-star beauty queen Aishwarya Rai has paved the way to ending one of Indian cinema's most famous feuds - between Oberoi and Bollywood leading man Salman Khan.

Khan, who is well-known for his lead roles in action and romantic movies called Oberoi to offer him his support after reports of the break up surfaced, the Times of India reported.

Khan and Oberoi have been on bad terms since Oberoi gave an interview complaining that he was being harassed by Khan, who also dated Rai in the past.

In the wake of the interview, Khan reportedly used his clout in the film industry to torpedo Oberoi's career.

But now that Rai is out of the picture, Khan has asked his Bollywood friends to help Oberoi find a good role, the Times quoted a friend of Khan as saying.

Khan called Oberoi to say, "Teri panvati bhi nikal gayi. The bad omen has passed," the report said.

The sources also reveal that one of Salman's closest friends again called Vivek to tell that: "Jab se Bhai ki life se woh panvati gayee hai bhai ka career nikal pada, abhi tu dekh tera bhi career accha hoga."

Rai, however, just back in Mumbai after a gruelling schedule of J P Dutta's Umrao Jaan to shoot for Dhoom 2, maintains that commenting on the breakup is beneath her - she says she has the support of God and her family.

"My dignity doesn't allow me to comment, refute or retaliate. As long as God and my family are with me, nothing else matters," she told a leading daily.

As for the friendship with Abhishek... "They're young, intelligent and extremely compatible. For God's sake, let them be! All this loose talk is making them so self-conscious."
