The love story that began on the set of ‘Tujhe Meri Kasam’ culminated in a real-life fairytale. Riteish and Genelia tied the knot on February 3, 2012. Since their marriage, the couple has welcomed two sons: Riaan, born in November 2014, and Rahyl, born in June 2016. Their relationship is often hailed as a model of love and commitment in Bollywood.
In an intimate conversation with ANI, Riteish shared valuable insights into the rules he believes are crucial for a balanced and happy 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 a 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.”
