When Riteish Deshmukh Gave Wife Genelia D’Souza ‘Wake-Up Call’ To Get Back To Acting

Bollywood couple Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh are celebrating their 12th wedding anniversary today, February 3. The couple tied the knot in 2012 after dating for more than 8 years.

They now share two kids between them named Riaan and Rahyl. The now husband-wife duo first started dating when they were both working as actors but Genelia took a 10-year break from work after she got married, which made people think that Riteish must have told her to quit acting.

However, all these rumours were put to rest by Genelia herself. She also revealed how her husband motivated her to return to acting.

Genelia said Riteish Deshmukh encouraged her to work

As per Pinkvilla, Genelia revealed in an interview from last year that she decided to take a break from acting because she wanted to be truthful with both her children and her career.

She was aware that she couldn’t do both at once. She did, however, add that Riteish gave her a wake-up call to return to acting when she began to grow accustomed to her break.
