Today is the birthday of beloved Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh. Riteish has carved out a niche for himself in Bollywood. But the journey was not easy. Riteish was the son of the then Chief Minister of Maharashtra Vilasrao Deshmukh.

There was an atmosphere of politics in the house. His father was the Chief Minister of a large and advanced state like Maharashtra. Both brothers were also involved in politics. But Riteish chose a different path for himself. He decided to become an actor.

It was not easy to tell my family about my decision to become an actor. Because Riteish was an architect and he would pursue a career in it, this was the prediction of the Deshmukh family. But suddenly Riteish decided to act.

The producers wanted a new face for the movie 'Tujhe Meri Kasam'. Suddenly one day Riteish got a call and will you do a movie? Such was the direct question. Riteish went to meet the producers as easily as he wanted to meet once.

And the producer made the same gift. But Ritesh needed to be told at home. He asked the manufacturer for 15 days. Because the father is the chief minister, the decision to work in the film was not easy to make and Riteish was aware of it.

Ritesh first told his mother. Mauli nodded. But tell your father your decision, said the mother. There was a respectful fear of Baba. But their permission was needed.

One day Riteish spoke to Baba. Baba, I have been offered a movie, he said in one breath. On top of that, what will become of the creator? That is what Vilasrao asked. There is no offer to work on this, replied Riteish.

On this, well, if you want to be a hero ... look what you want to do, said Vilasrao calmly. But how will Riteish decide? ‘Dad, I’ll do a movie. But if it flops tomorrow, who cares? But they will say that the son of the Chief Minister has done a bad deed, 'said Riteish.

Vilasrao quietly listened to Riteish's words and you know what he said next? ‘You take care of your name, I take care of my name,’ is the only sentence.
10 / 10
That one sentence was very telling. Ritesh remembered it all his life. Vilasrao is not in this world today.
