The talented Vivek Oberoi was all smiles as he sat down at his lovely Juhu residence to exclusively speak to Bollywood Hungama about his recently-released web series, Dharavi Bank , co-starring Suniel Shetty. The actor, who completed 20 years earlier this year, also opened up about his journey and a lot more. You must be getting a lot of offers. And you have been very choosy. What made you sign  Dharavi Bank ? Since the success of  Inside Edge , I have been fortunate to receive an offer once every 10 days. People come and tell me ‘ Yeh package hai. Iss  show  ko hum aise banayenge’ ! I have never chased that. I have too much respect for this medium, which I believe is the most democratic. Only talent flourishes here.

Age for me is really just a number.” Georgia is currently trying to make a major impact in Bollywood.
