It’s often believed that in the Indian film industry, former lovers hardly see each other eye to eye. But when it’s the opportunity to meet the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, even these ex-sweethearts come together.
Ages ago in 2004, we got to see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi sharing screen space together in ‘Kyun! Hogaya Na…’. During this film’s shoot, there were reports about their alleged relationship which created a huge trouble in Aishwarya’s personal life. Aishwarya’s ex-beau, Salman Khan was reportedly miffed with the actress’ relationship with Vivek Oberoi.
There were reports about Salman Khan calling Vivek Oberoi and warning him to stay away from Aishwarya. Vivek Oberoi also held a press conference alleging that Salman Khan threatened him to stay away from Aishwarya Rai. However, Vivek Oberoi and Aishwarya’s relationship went downhill soon after this issue.
Aishwarya was reportedly irked with Vivek Oberoi’s behaviour and the actress called it quits with the actor. Since then, Aishwarya chose to maintain distance from both Salman Khan and Vivek Oberoi. The actress also chose to avoid signing any films opposite Salman and Vivek.
However, after more than a decade we have finally got to see Vivek and Aishwarya coming together.

What many couldn’t make it possible was made possible by the Israel Prime Minister. We can see Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Vivek Oberoi happily posing for this epic selfie with Netanyahu. The picture also got appreciated by our Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Here’s what the tweeted:

We can only speculate the level of awkwardness in that one selfie as joining them, were Ash’s husband Abhishek Bachchan and father in law Amitabh Bachchan. But who cares, it’s Israel Prime Minister.
While we can see Aishwarya and Vivek happily posing for this selfie, hope the issue between the two is forgotten and hopefully we get to see these actors working together soon in future.

Praising veteran Amitabh Bachchan, the Israeli Prime Minister said, “I just found out that Amitabh Bachchan had 30 million more followers than I do.”
“I looked at other stars as well and I realised that you guys are a big thing. And the reason for that is that the world loves Bollywood, Israel loves Bollywood and I love Bollywood. We are putting our money where our mouth is,” Israel PM said.
We must say, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is quite a Bollywood fan.
