Actor Vivek Oberoi has spoken about life in Dubai amid the ongoing tensions linked to the Israel–Iran conflict, while also addressing his expanding business interests and upcoming film projects. The actor, who has been living in Dubai for the past few years, said the situation in the Middle East has been concerning but emphasised the importance of staying calm and relying on verified information.
Sharing a message online, Oberoi spoke directly to residents in the UAE and supporters in India. “To my extended family in the UAE… remember the foundations of this land are built on peace, resilience and an incredible spirit of togetherness,” he wrote, emphasising the country’s strong community values. He also cautioned people against circulating unverified information during times of geopolitical uncertainty. “To those back home in India: let’s keep everyone in our prayers. Don’t be a bridge for panic. Seek the source and rely only on verified media,” he said.
Reflecting on returning home while talking to Firstpost, the actor spoke about the comfort of being with his children. “The moment I landed in Dubai and saw my kids, the weight of the world just fell away. They were laughing over a board game, a scene of such profound, calm normalcy,” Oberoi said. He added that for him, family always comes first. “As a father, your priority is always their peace of mind. Under the visionary leadership of this nation, we are grateful that our daily lives remain focused on family and growth, providing a secure environment where children can simply be children.”
Oberoi currently resides in Dubai while continuing to travel to India for film projects. Over the past few years, he has expanded his entrepreneurial ventures, investing in sectors such as real estate, hospitality, and luxury brands, alongside his acting career. Reports suggest that his business portfolio spans multiple industries and has grown significantly in recent years. Despite focusing on business, Oberoi remains active in cinema. The actor made his Bollywood debut with Ram Gopal Varma’s Company in 2002 and gained popularity with films such as Saathiya and Shootout at Lokhandwala.
He will next be seen in the film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga and starring Prabhas and Triptii Dimri. The film is expected to release in multiple languages and marks another high-profile project for Oberoi as he balances acting commitments with his growing entrepreneurial ventures.
As tensions continue to affect parts of the Middle East, Oberoi’s message has resonated with many Indians and expatriates living in the region, highlighting the shared concerns of communities far from home while also underscoring the actor’s growing presence beyond the film industry.
