Speaking to YouTuber Siddharth Kannan, Vivek addressed the question of whether he was ever in a romantic relationship with Shah Rukh. He responded, "You mean a sexual relationship? No. He's not that sort. I don't know where the rumours came from." Vivek highlighted the context of their shared living arrangement during a period of career stress and Shah Rukh's impending marriage to Gauri, emphasising the nature of their connection as one of friendship rather than a romantic involvement. 

“We were living in the same house, my parents were there, there was tension, stress about career, he had to get married to Gauri, where would a relationship be in all of this? There was a relationship of friendship,” he told Siddharth Kannan. 

Clarifying further, Vivek expressed, "There was no relationship of sex. I would not even be able to think but... Unfortunately, for Shah Rukh because of his relationship with me, because he lived in my house, because of his relationship with Karan, a lot of people have tried to… as you become bigger in stature as a star, as a success, people say all sorts of things. It's not true."
