In a recent interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Akshay Oberoi was asked about him being the cousin brother of actor Vivek Oberoi. But the Fighter actor has never mentioned it anywhere.

In response, he said that he would be happy to get Vivek's help if it were offered. He revealed that neither he asked for work nor Vivek offered him any.

The actor further stated he respected both Vivek and his father Suresh Oberoi as actors and said that it was a coincidence that he did Inside Edge with Vivek.

He said, "Now that I look back, my career would have skyrocketed if had received help from Vivek." The Fighter actor concluded the answer by stating that he can balance success and failure after having seen the latter a lot.
