Marking the occasion, Genelia Deshmukh shared an endearing and humorous video on her Instagram account, capturing the couple’s whimsical dynamics, accompanied by a message that playfully outlined their interactions: a cycle of requests, contrary responses, confusion, and the inevitable affectionate resolution. “My Dearest Navra,” she began, describing the essence of their playful reel and how it represents the ups and downs they navigate together with a smile, “This reel is pretty much us—Me – constantly wanting something from you; You -doing exactly the opposite; Me – totally upset; You – Have no clue what went wrong… He he he. But that’s love I guess – always sticking together, always building something special, never giving up and Always being each other’s constant.”
The Instagram reel struck a chord among the digital audience, garnering a wave of envious comments as users noted the couple as “couple goals” while others simply found the depiction “how cute,” reflecting their appeal as a benchmark for marital harmony and friendship.
Riteish, showing his romantic side, chose a more direct approach, with a love-infused photograph on Instagram that illustrated the couple’s closeness. His caption, filled with poetic inclination, read, “When your whole world fits within your arms… aur jeene ko kya chahiye….Happy Anniversary Baiko !!! Everyday with you is a blessing!!! @geneliad.” The depth of his appreciation for his life with Genelia was palpable, celebrating not just the anniversary but every day they spend together.
Their relationship timeline dates back to February 3, 2012, the day their marital journey unfolded. Since then, they have welcomed their son Riaan in November 2014, followed by their second son Rahyl in June 2016, truly fortifying their bond as a family.
Looking beyond their personal lives to their professional endeavors, both Riteish and Genelia are embedded in exciting projects that keep their artistic spirits alive. Riteish has been busy with forthcoming ventures, like the film ‘100%’ and the horror-comedy ‘Kakuda,’ sharing screen space with Sonakshi Sinha and Saqib Saleem. Even more eagerly anticipated is his return to the comic universe with the fifth instalment of the ‘Housefull’ franchise, where his comedic prowess is expected to shine once again when it premieres on the occasion of Diwali in 2024.
Genelia, on her part, celebrated a milestone of her own with her Marathi film debut in ‘Ved,’ significant not just as her return to cinema after a sabbatical but also as Riteish Deshmukh’s first directorial venture. Her rendition marked a new chapter in her career, showcasing her versatility and commitment to her craft. Furthermore, the actress is preparing for a grand comeback to the silver screen, headlining an upcoming Telugu film that also serves as the debut for Kireeti Reddy, the son of former minister and reputed industrialist from Karnataka, Gali Janardhan Reddy. This bilingual film in Telugu and Kannada is being helmed by the accomplished director Radha Krishna.
As Riteish and Genelia navigate the dual world of limelight and domesticity, their enduring relationship and professional commitments continue to capture the hearts of their audience, further solidifying their position as beloved figures in the Indian entertainment industry.
