Bollywood fans worldwide will be able to witness critically and commercially acclaimed actor, Vivek Oberoi, perform for the very first time in the United States at this year’s Bollywood Awards Ceremony to be held on May 26th 2007 at the Nassau Coliseum in Long Island.www.bollywoodawards.com Vivek blazed onto the big screen with his realistic portrayal of a gangster in Ram Gopal Varma’s 'Company'.  He quickly moved out of the shadow of his father, esteemed veteran actor, Suresh Oberoi, and climbed into the top echelon of Indian leading men. His unconventional good looks and million dollar smile make him VERY popular with the ladies. This is the same Vivek that dated Aishwarya Rai before her recent engagement to Abhishek Bachchan.  Ladies, he's got sex appeal AND brains! Vivek studied at Mayo College in Ajmer and later in London where he was discovered; he later came to New York to study the craft of acting.   After proving his mettle in 'Company,' the big banners came his way and he played the lead in Yashraj Films’ 'Saathiya,' Subhash Ghai’s 'Kisna' and Mani Ratnam’s 'Yuva' - just to name a few.  This year, he shined as part of ensemble cast in Vishal Bhardwaj’s 'Omkara.'  To add to his good lucks, his attraction level sky rockets as Vivek’s support of charitable causes, particularly his mother’s trust, has made him an unofficial ambassador for philanthropy in India.....is this guy for real??? Is Aish making a mistake by hookin' up with Abishek? One woman's loss is another woman's gain! Other preformers for the Bollywood Awards this year include Akshay Kumar, Arjun Rampal, Kangana Ranaut, Raghav, Pakistan’s hottest actress and singer Shahida Mini.  Also attending will be Hollywood’s Danny Glover, Phylicia Rashad, Anupam Kher, Suresh Oberoi, Upen Patel, Rajkumar Hirani, Dr. Sanjay Gupta of CNN, and a  host of other celebrities will be announced as the show approaches.
