‘Love at first sight': Actor Vivek Oberoi recounts his serendipitous meeting with wife Priyanka Alva
Famed Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi, best known for his performances in films like Saathiya and Company, is known to have charmed audiences with his on-screen romances. However, few may know that the star also has a truly heartwarming real-life love story. In a recent interview, Oberoi opened up about how he unexpectedly met his wife Priyanka Alva, and it was clearly a case of love at first sight.
By his own admission, Oberoi was not interested in serious relationships or marriage, and envisioned himself as a bachelor. However, fate had other plans when his and Priyanka's families arranged for them to meet. Though initially skeptical, Oberoi agreed to see her as a courtesy. Their first encounter was in Italy, where Priyanka was completing her studies. From the moment he laid eyes on her natural beauty and confidence, Oberoi was drawn to her spirit. Impressed by her wit and insights, he found himself missing his flight in order to spend more time getting to know her charms.
By the end of their surprise tête-à-tête, Oberoi knew he had met his match. In his words, it was “love at first sight” and if he wasn't going to marry Priyanka, he didn't want to marry at all. Though their families had made the introduction, this chance meeting cultivated into a deep bond and understanding between the two. Oberoi and Priyanka have now been happily married for over a decade, sharing two children together. Their whirlwind romance proves that true love can arise when least expected.
