Vivek Oberoi
Vivek Oberoi has urged Bollywood stars to come to Sri Lanka.Amidst reports that after the request made by Tamil groups both in India and Sri Lanka asking more and more stars to boycott IIFA awards, no big star plans to be in Colombo this week, Bollywood star Vivek Oberoi has come forward in support of the organizers and asked the Hindi film industry to come to Sri Lanka and attend IIFA awards ceremonies between June 3-5.
While promoting IIFA awards, Vivek, who has already reached Colombo said, “I request all Bollywood stars to come to Colombo since I do not believe in boycotting awards. Bollywood films believe in building bridges, not putting up walls against people."
Vivek said that by its presence at the event, Bollywood can play a significant role in building the economy of the country that has seen an internal war and also do something for the Tamil people of Sri Lanka, who are in desperate need of help.
Though Vivek does not hold a position of influence in any case, his urging stars to come to Sri Lanka to attend IIFA awards has not made much difference as more and more Bollywood stars including Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan have already made clear that they have no plans to book their tickets to Colombo this week.
