Kavita Kaushik praises Vivek Oberoi, sparks debate with cryptic remark: “Fought against the biggest, but we as a country are charmed with Swag…”

Kavita Lauds Vivek Oberoi’s Success

It all began when YouTuber Maxtern posted about Vivek Oberoi's reported net worth of Rs 1200 crore on X (formerly Twitter). Responding to the post, Kavita wrote:
"A superb actor, stood up for his woman, fought against the biggest speaking truth… but we as a country are charmed with Swag, dadagiri, and roasting."

Although Kavita did not explicitly mention Salman Khan, the comment sparked widespread speculation due to its phrasing.

Past Comments Add Fuel to the Fire

Fans and critics revisited Kavita’s earlier remarks about Salman Khan, especially regarding her stint on Bigg Boss 14. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Kavita alleged that Salman was "disinterested" in hearing her side of the story during the show. She stated, "He doesn’t listen. He is not interested. I had a really bad experience. I still feel sick sometimes thinking about it. I puke and stuff, so yeah."

Kavita’s exit from the show followed a heated argument with fellow contestants Rubina Dilaik and Abhinav Shukla.

Departure from Television Industry

Earlier this year, Kavita announced her departure from television, citing dissatisfaction with its regressive content. She explained to Times Now, "There was a time when TV was progressive and we had different kinds of shows. But now, the kind of content we're showing is really bad for the young generations to watch. I have been a part of it as well and I am very sorry. I have contributed to that regression in some way."

She expressed her openness to exploring roles in films or web series, distancing herself from mainstream television.
