Riteish and Genelia Deshmukh have long been Bollywood’s benchmark for effortless partnership, a duo whose warmth feels almost cinematic in itself. That dynamic took center stage again as Genelia marked Riteish’s 47th birthday with a tribute that was a blend of affection, admiration and a touch of playful honesty. Posting a set of striking black‑and‑white photos, she penned: “My dearest Riteish, I know everyone who knows us, wonders how we are inseparable and yet so happy about it, even after all these years. But the truth is, it’s all you. You are love, you are grace, you make (me) laugh and even if I cry you wipe away every tear. You have the most amazing ways of making a connection and everyone feels they matter, when they are in your company and for me, I have you 24×7. Just imagine what I get to experience from the man who has a heart of gold. I will celebrate you everyday, every minute, every second because you are all that and more. Happy birthday, my heartbeat. You have my heart, just keep it safe with you.”
Her message arrives within a year where the couple has already shared professional highs as well – Riteish recently spoke about how thrilled he was to see the enthusiastic reception to Genelia’s film ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’, which earned both strong reviews and impressive box office traction. Their public moments, whether personal or professional, continue to underline why audiences remain so invested in them: they radiate sincerity, support, and a kind of companionship that feels rare in the industry.
