Vivek Oberoi Apologises for Offensive Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Meme
Vivek Oberoi has deleted the distasteful meme on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan that he had shared on Monday. “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,” he wrote.
The actor also apologised for sharing the meme with the message, “Even if one woman is offended by my reply to the meme, it calls for remedial action. Apologies, tweet deleted.”

"I Could not have asked for better more exciting partners when I started this extraordinary journey. I know this very unique film is in safe hands with Golden Ratio, AA Films and YNOTX's teams." says Producer Aditi Anand.
Hollywood Reporter comparing it to "a la Slumdog Millionaire or Lion" goes on to say "At a time when the plight of immigrants has become the subject of heated political debate in Europe and the U.S., an extremely feel-good migration movie like The Extraordinary Journey of the Fakir comes along as a rather pleasant surprise."
Based on the book by Romain Puértolas, the film is about an Indian street magician's journey to Paris. The film deals with the problems of immigrants across the world. Despite handling a rather sensitive and gloomy subject, the film seems to be filled with light-hearted humour.
