In a candid conversation with ANI, Riteish shared his relationship philosophy by highlighting three key aspects that he believes are vital for a successful marriage. “I think that eventually, every couple will figure their equilibrium in their relationship. I can only say what are the three things in my relationship on which I concentrate. I feel that in a relationship couple of things that are very important and prime most is respect. If you respect your partner immaterial of anything, that respect should be there even when you are arguing. Because when you argue, there is a time when it slips. And then you start disrespecting.
. Once it comes, that crack is always visible. So be very careful. It’s like a broken plate, you stick it together. Even then, you see the crack. That’s why do not lose respect. If you think that you are going to say something because of which things can be worse then be quiet. So one is respect. Second is the needs of your partner should be above your needs. It’s not what you want. Her needs should be above yours. These two things if you follow, and have a sense of humour.”
