‘You don't realise you're in a desert, right': Take a tour of Vivek Oberoi's greenery-filled home in Dubai
When you step inside Vivek Oberoi's home in Dubai, it's hard to believe this serene, leafy enclave lies in the middle of a desert city. From the glitzy pace of Mumbai to the calm of The Meadows in Dubai, his life now flows between two distinct worlds—both of which he calls home. Vivek's Dubai home combines his personality and his wife Priyanka's aesthetic. 'House is very, very tastefully done,' Kamiya Jani of Curly Tales remarks, to which Vivek responds candidly, 'That's all Priyanka's credit, none mine… she's the boss.' Though he picked downtown initially, Priyanka moved them to The Meadows—a green, tranquil neighborhood. 'She said, just for your office convenience, I'm not going to do,' Vivek says with a chuckle. With a view of a lake, chirping birds in the morning, and gulmohar trees reminiscent of his childhood in Juhu, the house is both personal and poetic. 'We love art,' he adds, 'The art collection is mine—old desi artists, all Indian. The rest is all Priyanka.' They've lived in Dubai for nearly three years, which shows how deeply rooted they've become. From an organic garden growing curry leaves and spices to an intimate home layout that invites calm, Vivek says, 'You don't realise you're in a desert, right?' Life here isn't just about luxury—it's also about peace. 'Try to keep my life simple here… pool, playing with the kids, feeding my birds, going for a walk around the lake,' Vivek shares. 'That non-film life that I never had in India.' Beyond his acting career, Vivek has transformed into a full-scale entrepreneur. His business empire stretches from real estate to tech startups with social impact. 'Back home in India, I built a fintech company… helped 45 lakh kids get loans for education. Then I built an education company called iScholar… now an agri-startup that helps 97 lakh farmers.' In Dubai, he runs BMW Developments, which handles ultra-luxury real estate projects. He's also launched Solitario, a lab-grown diamond jewellery brand already in six countries and 35 cities. But despite the fast pace of work, home is sacred. 'By the time I get here… my mind starts to ease,' he says. 'I put my phones away… It's family time.' One of his favourite rituals? A pre-dinner table tennis match with his son. 'Earlier, it was easy. Now he's 11, and sometimes he takes the lead. You should see that joy—'I'm beating dad!'' At heart, Vivek Oberoi's Dubai home is more than a luxurious escape. It's a place where birdsong replaces WhatsApp pings, childhood memories are replanted as trees, and family comes before all else. 'The wife is always right,' he says smiling. And perhaps that's why this home, with its warmth and simplicity, feels exactly right too.

Jai saved Veeru on screen, but Veeru got him the role: Dharmendra reveals how he helped Amitabh Bachchan bag Sholay
Before Sholay became an immortal legend of Indian cinema , it was just another script with characters yet to be etched in cultural memory. But behind the casting of one of its most iconic duos—Veeru and Jai—lies a story of friendship, intuition, and a quiet nudge that changed cinematic history. Veteran actor Dharmendra , who played the ever-spirited Veeru in the 1975 classic, recently revealed how he helped his co-star and now megastar Amitabh Bachchan bag the role of Jai. In a conversation with ANI, the 88-year-old actor reflected on the early days of the film and his unspoken gesture that placed a "new ladka" alongside him in what would become one of India's most celebrated films. 'This Boy Has Something Special' Speaking to ANI, Dharmendra said, 'Yes, I recommended him. Mai to kehta nahi maine unko (Amitabh Bachchan) role dilaya. Ye mujhe milne aate the Amitabh sahab (He used to come to meet me). He used to sit next to me.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Sleep Apnea Breakthrough: Why Thousands Are Switching to This Pillow True Wellness Undo The veteran actor shared how he subtly pitched Amitabh to director Ramesh Sippy. 'Maine Ramesh Sippy ji ko kaha yeh naya ladka hai… awaaz se lagta hai bahut acha kaam karega. Unki jo andar se chahna thi, jo khud se pyaar karne ki khoobsurti thi vo achi lagi… maine kaha inko le lo.' In a moment that now reads like a stroke of destiny, Dharmendra's instinctual faith in Amitabh's quiet charm and dedication turned out to be prophetic. Bachchan's portrayal of Jai—intense, reserved, and haunting—became one of the cornerstones of Sholay's enduring legacy.

Released in 1975, Sholay might have received lukewarm critical reception initially, but it quickly grew into a phenomenon, becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of its time and embedding itself in the national psyche. Directed by Ramesh Sippy and written by the iconic duo Salim-Javed, Sholay was more than just a film—it was a cultural reset. With its mix of Dacoit Western flair, gripping action, unforgettable dialogues, and a soundtrack that echoed across generations, it shaped the language of Indian popular cinema. Even decades later, Jai and Veeru's camaraderie continues to symbolize unbreakable friendship on screen. What's Next for Dharam Ji? Even as he relives memories from half a century ago, Dharmendra remains rooted in the present. Sharing updates about his next film, he said, 'Now my film is coming, Ikkis . Sriram Raghavan is the director. Very good director. And very good subject. I won't talk about it now... it is releasing on October 2.'
