However, the tweet has not gone done well with the netizens. After the Maharashtra State Commission for Woman issued a notice against the 'objectionable' exit polls tweet, the National Commission for Women (NCW) has also issued a notice against the actor seeking an explanation for the same.

ANI quoted Vijaya Rahatkar, Chief of Maharashtra State Commission for Women as saying: “Commission has taken cognizance of actor Vivek Oberoi's tweet on exit polls and a notice is being issued to him.”

For the uninitiated, Salman and Aishwarya were rumoured to be a couple back in the late 90s and early 2000. It was around the time when they featured in superhit film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. However, it didn't last for long.

Thereafter, the buzz was strong that Vivek Oberoi and Ash were a couple. Incidentally, their's was also a short-lived love story, reportedly.

On April 20, 2007, the actress got married to Abhishek Bachchan and together they are blessed with a daughter named Aaradhya.

On the work front, Vivek is now gearing up for the release of the much-talked-about PM Narendra Modi biopic. He plays the titular role of the lead character. The film is helmed by 'MC Mary Kom' director Omung Kumar.
