Vivek Oberoi has apologised for the crass tweet where he compared the ongoing elections to Salman Khan and Aishwarya's affair back in the early 2000s. Although initially Vivek was unapologetic about the same and felt he did no wrong or demeaned nobody with the meme.
Vivek Oberoi’s tweet about Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan slammed online
Earlier, Vivek told ANI saying, "People are saying apologise, I have no problem in apologising, but tell me what wrong have I done? If I have done something wrong I will apologise. I don't think I have done anything wrong. What's wrong in it? Somebody tweeted a meme and I laughed at it. I don't know why people are making a huge issue out of it. Someone had sent me a meme which made fun of me. I laughed on it and I appreciated the person for his creativity. If someone mocks at you, you should not take it seriously. Those in the meme don't have a problem, but everyone else has."

However, Vivek changes his mind and he just took up to Twitter to not only delete the meme but also issue a public apology to everyone who got offended by his not-so-funny joke. He wrote, "Sometimes what appears to be funny and harmless at first glance to one, may not be so to others. I have spent the last 10 years empowering more than 2000 underprivileged girls, I cant even think of being disrespectful to any woman ever. Even if one woman is offended by my reply to the meme, it calls for remedial action. Apologies tweet deleted."
