Genelia D'souza and Riteish Deshmukh had first met on the sets of their first film, 'Tujhe Meri Kasam'. Being from a political background, Riteish’s first impression on her was of a rich spoilt brat.
Genelia and Riteish had started with friendship which had gradually turned into love. Love had even blossomed further and they had decided to take the plunge and get married.
Genelia and Riteish had finally tied the knot on February 3, 2012, following a traditional Maharashtrian wedding. From their dating days to marriage, it's been 19 years of togetherness.
Shah Rukh Khan, Shahid Kapoor, Akshay Kumar, and many more celebrities had graced Genelia and Riteish's gala Maharashtrian wedding. It was a star studded night.
Genelia and Riteish come from different worlds. While, Riteish is a Maharashtrian Hindu, Genelia is a Mangolerean Catholic. Thus, they had dual weddings, a Christian and a Maharashtrian one!
They had exchanged their vows at a church in suburban Bandra in front of a father on February 4, 2012. While their Maharashtrian wedding was a gala one, their Christian marriage was more private.
Genelia had worn a white dress for her Christian wedding with a lacy neckline. She had paired it with a long veil, lacy gloves, diamond drops and a tiara. She had completed her look with smokey eyes.
Genelia had donned a red 'Paithani' saree designed by Neeta Lulla. She had paired her look with gold and 'kundan' jewellery, a 'nath' and a 'mundavalya'. She had looked like a sight to behold.
Genelia and Riteish had hosted a grand reception party which was attended by the B-town biggies and politicians. Ever since they had tied the knot, they have give major couple goals to the world.
They had embraced parenthood for the first time, when Riaan was born in November, 2014. Later, the couple had welcomed their second child, Rahyl in June, 2016.
