Actor Vivek Oberoi has revealed that celebrated choreographer Bosco Martis once drew up an elaborate plan to get married at the age of 19 — and that it was Vivek who stepped in and talked him out of it. The anecdote surfaced during a recent episode of Bosco Caesar's podcast 'Dance & Masti', where the two old friends revisited their school days, early struggles, and little-known stories from their youth.

The Unusual Marriage Plan

Vivek and Bosco, who reportedly attended the same school, have known each other long before either made a mark in their respective industries. During the podcast, Vivek recalled that Bosco was seriously considering marrying a girl when he was just 19 — below the legal age for marriage at the time. Rather than abandoning the idea, Bosco had reportedly devised an unconventional workaround: he planned to have an older man sign the marriage registration documents on his behalf, intending to formally remarry the same girl once he turned 21.

Vivek intervened and persuaded his friend to drop the plan entirely. The revelation drew laughter from both as they reflected on how different their mindsets were in those younger years.

Witnessing Each Other's Rise

Beyond the marriage anecdote, Vivek spoke at length about closely watching Bosco Caesar's journey, recalling the obstacles both he and Bosco Martis had to navigate while establishing themselves — particularly the absence of industry backing in their early careers. Vivek noted that neither of them had anyone championing their cause in those formative years, making their eventual successes all the more hard-earned.

Bosco's Candid Admission on a Career Interaction

Bosco Martis, for his part, revisited a telling exchange with Vivek from the early phase of the actor's career, when films such as 'Company' and 'Saathiya' had brought him significant recognition. Bosco admitted that Vivek's response to a collaboration request initially stung him.

'First, Company happened, and then Saathiya came along shortly after. I don't want anyone to take what I am about to say the wrong way... I called Vivek during this period, after a very long time. I said, ‘Vivek, I want to do a song with you.’ You said, ‘Yes, we should definitely do it,’ and then you added, ‘Work out the creatives and give me a breakdown,’' Bosco said on the podcast.

He added, 'Although I agreed, I felt hurt thinking about why you said that with so much attitude. However, I eventually realised you were absolutely right. I am going to a star who has worked so hard to reach a certain level. I am a choreographer, and if I am approaching a star, I have to be prepared about how I can position him.'

A Friendship Spanning Decades

The podcast episode offered a rare, candid window into a friendship that predates both men's rise to prominence. Their exchange — part nostalgic, part instructive — underlines how their long bond has been shaped as much by frank conversations as by shared memories. The episode is likely to resonate with fans who have followed both figures across the entertainment and dance industries.
