Riteish Deshmukh Pens Emotional Tribute to Wife Genelia on 24th Anniversary
Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh took to social media to celebrate a significant milestone in his personal life, marking 24 years of togetherness with his wife, actress Genelia Deshmukh. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Riteish shared a tender photograph and an emotional message that has captivated fans and followers.
A Touching Instagram Post
The actor posted a sweet picture where Genelia is seen smiling gently while leaning slightly forward, with Riteish standing closely behind her, nuzzling near her cheek in an affectionate pose. Accompanying the image was a deeply personal note that reflected on their enduring relationship.
Riteish wrote: "Exactly 24 years ago, our hearts found each other and never let go. You've been my safe place, my wildest adventure, my softest dream come true. Thank you for choosing me every single day. My friend, my lover, my forever baiko... I am endlessly, hopelessly in love with you. @geneliad."
Their Love Story and Family Life
The couple's romance began during the filming of the 2003 movie 'Tujhe Meri Kasam', where they started dating. After nearly a decade together, they tied the knot in February 2012 with a traditional Marathi wedding, followed by a Christian ceremony in a church the next day.
Their family expanded with the birth of their first son, Riaan, in November 2014, and their second son, Rahyl, in June 2016. The Deshmukhs have often been admired for their strong bond and public displays of affection, making them one of Bollywood's most beloved couples.
Upcoming Professional Projects
On the professional front, Riteish Deshmukh is gearing up for several exciting film releases. He is set to star in the highly anticipated historical action drama 'Raja Shivaji', which chronicles the extraordinary journey of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. The film is scheduled for a worldwide multilingual release on May 1, 2026, with monumental sets crafted to reflect the grandeur of 16th-century Maharashtra.
Additionally, Riteish will reprise his role in the comedy franchise with 'Dhamaal 4', now set to hit theatres on July 3. The release date was shifted from March 19 to avoid a box-office clash with other major films like Ranveer Singh's 'Dhurandhar: The Revenge' and Yash's 'Toxic'.
Details About 'Dhamaal 4'
Directed by Indra Kumar, 'Dhamaal 4' will feature the core cast from the previous instalments, including Ajay Devgn, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Mishra, and Jaaved Jaaferi. New additions to the ensemble include Esha Gupta, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Anjali Anand, Upendra Limaye, Vijay Patkar, and Ravi Kishan.
The film is jointly backed by producers Ajay Devgn, Bhushan Kumar, Krishan Kumar, Ashok Thakeria, Indra Kumar, Anand Pandit, and Kumar Mangat Pathak. It is presented by Gulshan Kumar and T-Series in association with Devgn Films, a T-Series Films, Maruti International, and Panorama Studios production.
Legacy of the Dhamaal Franchise
The 'Dhamaal' franchise began in 2007 with the first film starring Sanjay Dutt, Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi, and others. It was followed by the sequel 'Double Dhamaal' in 2011 and the reboot 'Total Dhamaal' in 2019. The story of 'Total Dhamaal' is loosely based on the 2015 film 'Vacation', with some scenes inspired by the 2014 movie 'Blended'.
As Riteish Deshmukh celebrates this personal milestone, fans eagerly await his upcoming projects, which promise to blend historical grandeur with comedic entertainment, showcasing his versatility as an actor.
