In an interview with The Times Of India, Riteish Deshmukh talked about doing sex comedies and shared his thoughts about this particular genre of films and how it is growing in the Hindi film industry. The charming actor, Riteish has worked in many hit sex-comedy films, and shared that he isn't ashamed of doing such movies and instead proudly calls himself the only actor, who has worked in 4-5 adult comedies. Reflecting more on the kind of family environment he had grown up in, Riteish shared the reaction of his late father, Vilasrao Deshmukh, to his decision to do raunchy comedies. The doting son shared how he had worked in sex-comedy films when his father was the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. In his words:
"I am the only actor who's done 4-5 sex comedies, and I am not ashamed of that. After a point, there's nothing more that can be on offer. I never thought what would my son think in the future. When I did that, my father was the chief minister of Maharashtra. I made that choice. My parents never told me what to do, what not to do. They allowed me to make my own choice. When it comes to my kids making a choice, they don't really know about my body of work."
Further, in the same interview, Riteish Deshmukh talked about his kids, Rahyl Deshmukh and Riaan Deshmukh and surprisingly revealed that they aren't aware of the fact that he is a movie star. Talking more about how he wanted his children to stay away from showbiz and fame, Riteish admitted that his kids don't know much about his profession. Talking about the same, he explained:
"My kids still don't understand, why paps (paparazzi) and fans want to click pictures with me. They are still not aware of the stardom. Fame is only temporary. What you think is fame, might just be an illusion My kids go to school and their friends tell them your father is a star."

For instance, on August 14, 2021, Riteish had dropped an emotional video on his father's 9th death anniversary.

"Miss you everyday PAPPA!! #vilasraodeshmukh."
