Vivek Oberoi got slapped for flirting a foriegn girl

Vivek
Oberoi is preparing to approach the court for a false defamatory
article in a newspaper, which claimed he misbehaved with a lady at a
party and got slapped.

It was reported in a Mumbai daily
this week that the actor got into trouble at a dinner party hosted at a
friend's house. The report claimed, Vivek got drunk and flirted with
the host's foreign girlfriend, kissed her and got slapped. The piece
which stemmed from another speculatory write-up in a trade magazine
called Film Information, quotes an "eyewitness" and carries a denial
about the incident from Apoorva Lakhia (the director of Vivek's
forthcoming film Mission Istanbul) who is stated to have accompanied
the actor at this party.

Vivek's publicist Dale Bhagwagar
strongly refuted all the claims saying, "Nothing of this sort ever
happened. Vivek is an extremely well-behaved and cultured boy, though
often misunderstood. All this talk about him being involved in a thing
like this is simply rubbish and a figment of the newspaper's
over-creative imagination."

When probed, if Vivek would
challenge the newspaper to produce the mentioned 'eyewitness' in court,
Bhagwagar laughed and remarked, "Where is the question of an
'eyewitness' when no such party or function ever took place." "The
incident as well as the whole story about this party, drinking,
flirting and slap is all fictitious," he reiterated.

Asked why
so many such stories and denials by actors are doing the rounds of the
media nowadays, Bhagwagar commented, "It's a vicious circle of demand
and supply. I guess, the media just does it to fill their pages on a
daily basis. The irony is, innocent actors often get dragged and
defamed in the process". source
