Vivek Oberoi and his new bride Priyanka Alva looked very much the happy couple at their grand wedding reception in Mumbai. The event, however, saw more heavyweights from politics than from Bollywood.
While the bride glowed in a green-blue lehnga choli, the groom sported a dark velvet sherwani at the reception last night. They were both dressed in Rohit Bal creations.
Priyanka being the daughter of late Karnataka leader Jeevaraj Alva, the event saw a slew of political faces, including Bharatiya Janata Party leaders LK Advani and Sushma Swaraj who flew in from Delhi to bless the newly married couple.
Congress leaders like Digvijay Singh, Kripa Shankar Singh and Maharashtra ministers Chhagan Bhujbal, Narayan Rane also graced the occasion. Ujjwal Nikam, special public prosecutor for the 26/11 attacks, was also present.
Kripa Shankar said: "I have come to congratulate Vivek and Priyankaji. I will pray they lead a very happy life. Suresh Oberoi and his wife wished for a long time to see their son get married, which finally came true."
Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam said: "Vivek is my good friend and I wish the couple a very happy married life."
Vivek's father Suresh Oberoi was on cloud nine and said: "I have got a daughter. I am very happy about Vivek. I am also happy about his performance in Rakta Charitra."
From the film industry, Fardeen Khan, Ritesh Deshmukh, Tabu, Genelia D'Souza, actor-politician Shatrughan Sinha, director Ram Gopal Varma and Farah Khan attended the ceremony.
Bollywod star Akshay Kumar made a big entry at the end of the wedding and left the venue within minutes after wishing the couple. "I wish them a happy life, that's all," he said.
Shatrughan Sinha said: "Vivek is a very nice boy, so is his family. They seem to be made for each other. I think it would be a fantastic bonding and should be like that."
Fardeen said: "I wish them a happy life forever."
Siddharth said: "I have known him for a long time and I am very happy that he is finally settling down and I am here to wish him and Priyanka the best."
Varma, who was instrumental in launching Vivek in Bollywood with the film Company, said: "I wish them a great charitra."
Riteish said: "I am happy for Vivek. Wish them a very happy married life."
Farah said: "I of course wish Vivek all the best. He has been a dancer with me, so I know him for a long time and I think this is the most perfect thing he has done in a long time.”

Now we've heard it from the man himself. Vivek Oberoi has confirmed that he is getting married, even though he hasn't done it quite directly. News broke yesterday that Vivek would be marrying Priyanka Alva, but there was no word from him on what was happening.
It's wedding bells time for Vivek Oberoi finally. It seems that the actor will be marrying Priyanka Alva, who's the daughter of politician Jeevaraj Alva, a minister in the state of Karnataka in India. Priyanka's mom Nandini Alva is a dancer and social worker.
Vivek Oberoi is continuing his humanitarian work by associating himself with a social cause where he will interact with autistic children and teach them dancing.
Vivek Oberoi has not been reading the unflattering stories about himself. "I prefer to read books," he laughs on his one-day visit to India---Mumbai-Pune-Delhi, to be more precise. Vivek landed on Wednesday evening, rushed to Pune for a personal visit, rushed back to Mumbai on Thursday and flew to Delhi for the premiere of Mission Istaanbul, thereby putting an end to all speculative stories about dissociating himself from the film.
What happens when you stop a Bollywood star who is just about to board an international flight? He'd say 'Sorry, not now'. But if the man in the picture is Vivek Oberoi, what then? I'm sure he'd remind you of Maya in Shootout at Lokhandwala and you'd rather not mess with him. Here, the story took a bit of a turn. Nicknamed 'Tiger' and 'Rockstar' by his friends and colleagues, Vivek Oberoi is on a high these days because his director thinks Mission Istaanbul is his best work till date. Bollywood Hungama's Devansh Patel grabs the actor moments before he boards his flight to find out his comment on the quote, his bad and good guy image, his mission and lots more interesting answers to some hard hitting questions.
Chiseled looks, bulging biceps and long hair is what we haven't seen much of from Mr. Oberoi. What went into creating such a look? 
You will remember this interview as it's your last before you check in the immigration to go to South Africa. So who and where is the leading lady of the film? 
Any plans of having a premiere in Istaanbul. 
Apoorva Lakhia and Suneil Shetty are really thinking BIG for their upcoming project MISSION ISTANBUL.
He was once touted as the 'Oberoi' who towers. His debut film Company set his stocks rising so much that it even put the best of scrips to shame! Added to that was the fact he was also carrying the legacy of the illustrious surname of his respected father Suresh Oberoi. We are indeed talking about Vivek Oberoi, who is all set to repeat history, only this time, he wants his work to do the 'talking'. Talk it will, as he is gearing up for Mission Istaanbul amongst others. One may note that Mission Istaanbul shares its initials with the Hollywood blockbuster Mission Impossible. But what remains to be seen is that will Mission Istaanbul create the same impact or maybe more than Mission Impossible? Well, Bollywood Hungama caught up with this actor and came back tad impressed, but, with just one regret that since he was sporting a cap, we couldn't see his new hairstyle that he will be sporting for his next film. Excerpts of the interview:
There is news that you have even sung a song in the film. Mission Ustaad….is it? 
As you said that Apoorva wrote MI keeping you in mind, it only becomes needless to say that you will be doing his next film too. Right? 
Vivek Oberoi, who shot for a solo song for Apoorva Lakhia's Mission Istaanbul, personally selected the six Russian dancers who gyrated with him in the track. Lakhia confirms, "Vivek auditioned the girls himself. He wanted the song to look good and I guess Vivek also wanted to hang around with some cute and cool chicks!"
Reportedly, Vivek Oberoi is not too happy with his role in Apoorva Lakhia's upcoming film, Mission Istanbul. The latest is that Oberoi and Lakhia have fallen apart completely.
While on MISSION ISTAANBUL, its lead actor Vivek Oberoi has turned a new leaf. "I made a lot of mistakes, I rubbed a lot of people the wrong way, I got carried away. I went through hell, personally and professionally. The media turned its back on me. Some of the projects I was associated with, evaporated into thin air. Everything I did, backfired," Vivek reminisces as we get into the flashback mode.
