Genelia recalls the time Riteish broke up with her
During the interview, Genelia was asked about any pranks that Riteish played on her. To this she recalled, “When we were dating each other, it was April Fool’s Day, and he sends me a message saying, ‘We’re done’, and he’s gone off to sleep. He used to sleep really late, and I used to sleep early. He sent me this at around 1 in the night, and has fallen asleep. I have read it at 2:30 in the morning, and I am depressed. ‘What went wrong? What is this cheek and audacity?’”
Genelia continued, “I have made myself miserable till 9 in the morning. He has woken up, not remembering that he’s done that. So, he’s woken up and called me, ‘Hi, what’s up?’ And I’m like fully, ‘I don’t think we should talk, I don’t want to talk to you’. He said, ‘Why, what went wrong?’ And I said, ‘What went wrong! Are you actually behaving like nothing went wrong?’” When Genelia reminded him about the message, Riteish remembered, and explained that he only did it because it was April Fool’s Day. “I said, ‘Who jokes about something like that?’” Genelia added.
Genelia heaps praise on Riteish
She said that he definitely ‘made up for it’, and praised Riteish for being an ideal husband. She said, “He has immense respect towards women, and towards his wife. Every time I have to shoot, he’s at home, playing the homemaker. He does it with dignity, and with absolute acceptance. He does it wholeheartedly, and doesn’t make it seem like he’s doing my job. He’s a partner who does everything, and I really lucked out.”
Genelia and Riteish met each other on the set of the 2003 film Tujhe Meri Kasam. They fell in love during the film’s shoot and got married in 2012. They are now parents to two sons.
