On the other hand, Genelia also shared a picture with her husband on her Instagram story and wrote, "24 years and nothing Eva changes."
Riteish and Genelia made their Bollywood debuts with the 2003 film 'Tujhe Meri Kasam'. They fell in love with the sets of the film and have been together for over two decades now.
Genelia and Riteish tied the knot on February 3, 2012. They welcomed their son Riaan in November 2014 and their second son Rahyl in June 2016.
Earlier in a conversation with ANI, Riteish Deshmukh spoke about his married life, explaining how he prioritises Genelia's needs.
"I think that eventually, every couple will figure out their equilibrium in their relationship. I can only say what the three things in my relationship on which I concentrate are. I feel that in a relationship, a couple of things that are very important and prime most are respect. If you respect your partner immaterial of anything. That respect should be there even when you are arguing. Because when you argue, there is a time when it slips. And then you start disrespecting. Once it comes, that crack, it is always visible. So be very careful. It's like a broken plate; you stick it together. Even then, you see the crack. That's why do not lose respect. If you think that you are going to say something because of which things can get worse, then be quiet. So one is respect. Second is the needs of your partner should be above your needs. It's not what you want. Her needs should be above yours. These are two things if you follow. And have a sense of humour," he said.
On the work front, Riteish Deshmukh has an exciting lineup of films in the pipeline, including 'Raja Shivaji' and 'Dhamaal 4'.
