Actor Vivek Oberoi, having sworn off marriage after a painful breakup, experienced a change of heart upon meeting Priyanka Alva during a trip to Florence. Within 48 hours, he was convinced she was the one for him.
In a recent interview with Humans of Bombay, Vivek reminisced about the pact he made with his mother, who was eager for him to settle down.

Their first encounter in Florence, where Priyanka was vacationing with her family, left Vivek captivated. Despite intending to keep things casual, their initial conversation led to hours of engaging discussion. Vivek, enchanted, missed his return flight and spent more time with Priyanka and her family.
The following day, Vivek made a grand gesture by renting a convertible and taking Priyanka for a drive. He expressed his feelings candidly, stating that if he ever married, it would be her, leaving the decision to her. Their romance blossomed, leading to their marriage on October 29, 2010, in Bengaluru. They are now proud parents to two children. Vivek, recently seen in Rohit Shetty’s Indian Police Force, remains deeply committed to Priyanka and their family.
