Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh have been one of the most loved couples in Bollywood. The couple has been together for over two decades and never fails to praise each other at public events. Riteish and Genelia tied the knot on February 3, 2012, and have two sons, Riaan and Rahyl. The netizens have always praised the power couple for raising their kids with good values and manners. Recently, in an interview with Bollywoodlife, Riteish shared how he ensures to explain to his kids about manners and respect.
Paparazzi is always keen to capture star kids, which often irritates many. Some star kids even hide their faces or avoid acknowledging the media. However, Riteish and Genelia's sons, Riaan and Rahyl, have always been praised for greeting the media with a 'Namaste' gesture or folded hands. Riteish shared that initially, his kids were curious why the press click their pictures. So, he explained to them that it was because of his acting work and the boys hadn't done anything to earn it. As a result, they should greet the media with folded hands. He was quoted as saying:
"Paparazzi used to click us and our children asked us for the reason. First, they asked about me. So, I gave the reason for my acting experience over the years. I explained that paps feel that I am an actor with so many years of experience and hence, they should click me. Then they questioned themselves. So, I told them that you haven't done much till now to be clicked by the paps, but still, if they are clicking you, you should thank them with folded hands."

"It is very important to teach children the right thing, and not just the right thing buy human values are very important..Just being able to say thank-you and please is an extremely important thing to teach children there should be no compromise in giving respect."

However, he doesn't want the kids to feel special with other kids. The Housefull actor added that he doesn't want his kids to get any wrong aspirations because they get clicked.
