Actor Vivek Oberoi opened up about his experiences amid the ongoing Iran-US-Israel conflict and shared the emotional relief of reuniting with his children in Dubai. While several Indian celebrities, including Esha Gupta and Lara Dutta, faced disruptions abroad, Oberoi was trying to return to Dubai from India, where he was shooting for his upcoming film Spirit, while his family remained in the UAE.
Discussing his business ventures, Oberoi highlighted Dubai’s resilience and thriving environment despite global perceptions of instability. “The storm does not disturb the fish in the deep sea. While the world outside views us through a lens of distortion, the reality on the ground is very different. Dubai isn't just functioning – it has shifted into a higher gear,” he told FirstPost. He emphasized that markets and offices were buzzing with activity and that companies were adapting and evolving, reflecting the UAE’s “unshakeable spirit.”
Recounting his reunion with his children, Oberoi described the overwhelming relief he felt: “The moment I landed in Dubai and saw my kids, the weight of the world just fell away. They were laughing over a board game – a scene of profound, calm normalcy.” He praised the UAE’s leadership for creating a safe environment where families feel secure and children can “simply be children.”

Addressing concerns about the regional conflict, Oberoi noted that people outside the Middle East often misinterpret the situation. “They mistake the precision of caution for fear. In reality, the UAE leadership deserves immense recognition,” he said, highlighting the country’s sophisticated security systems and a sense of unity that allows residents to maintain normalcy in their personal and professional lives.
Oberoi will next be seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Spirit and Nitesh Tiwari’s Ramayana, balancing his acting commitments with his business and family life in Dubai during challenging times.
