Best Friends Forever: An Eternal Love Story Of Riteish And Genelia Deshmukh
There were no formal proposals, no candlelight dinners to woo each other! For Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza, being happy with the person they love was always the most important thing.
Here is their love story.
Some love stories are meant to be forever…
Year 2002, it was a day just like any other day but who knew two hearts are going to be one and forever after this day. A 16-year-old girl, full of inhibitions came at the Hyderabad airport with her mom to meet a young boy from an influential family of Maharashtra. The girl was Genelia D’Souza, and this young man was none other than Riteish Deshmukh.
Surprising twist- destiny has different plans
Initially, Genelia thought that being a chief minister’s son, Riteish will be a spoilt brat and full of tantrums. So, she decided to give him attitude before he did! Oblivious to her thoughts, Riteish arrived on the terminal and saw this tall girl, who shook hands with him and started looking in a different direction. This cold reaction left him wondering, as why she was behaving so awkward?
This was their first meeting for the test shoot of their debut film- Tujhe Meri Kasam.
On the sets...
'They fight, they play and that’s the way, they are meant to stay!'
To Genelia’s surprise, opposite to her thoughts, Riteish came out to be extremely humble, and polite with everybody on the sets. During the shoots, Riteish was immensely respectful towards Genelia’s parents. The actress found it endearing that despite being the Chief Minster’s son (Late-Shri Vilasrao Deshmukh), Riteish was completely down-to-earth.
Best friends forever- they complete each other
The story moved forward from here, the two youngsters made things easy for each other on the sets. Not many people know that Riteish is also a professional architect, and architecture is what he used to discuss with Genelia on the sets. And, young Genelia used to share updates about her college and exams with him.
I Love You- never happened 'officially'
Soon, they became best friends off the sets. The fondness grew, but no formal proposals were made from any side. After the Hyderabad shoot, Riteish came back to Mumbai. By now, he had started missing Genelia’s company. She also could not keep herself untouched by his charm. The aura of Riteish was slowly taking over her. Love was never a sudden thing for them, It was a slow process, where they first got to know each other and before they could realise it, they were in love!
Journey from friends to best friends to life partners
A 16-year-old girl and a 24-year-old boy, met way back in the year 2002. They gradually fell in love and after a nine year long relationship, finally tied the knot on February 3, 2012. This youngest couple of Bollywood literally grew up together. The beauty of this relationship is that they were so used to each other as friends, that till now they do not know when love 'officially' happened and who proposed to whom?
A decade of love but the discovery is still ON!
