Grandparents – the ones, who might be stricter with your parents but when it comes to you, they are your staunch supporters. The ones, who are proud of your smallest of achievements and a relationship that makes you believe in unconditional love. The ones, who treat you with sweets and food, provide you with the pocket money your parents refused to give you and pamper you with their selfless love. The lessons you learn from them and the fascinating decade-old stories that they tell, helps in moulding you as a person. It leaves a void that cannot be filled to mark their absence in your lives. While Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh’s sons, Riaan Deshmukh and Rahyl Deshmukh are the centre of their grandmother, Vaishali Deshmukh’s universe, they are learning about their late grandfather, Vilasrao Deshmukh’s legacy through their parents.

Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh had started their journey in the Hindi film industry together with the film, Tujhe Meri Kasam and it was not only a beginning of their successful careers but also a beautiful start of their personal lives. In February 2012, Riteish had made the love of his life, Genelia his baiko, and two years later, in 2014, the lovebirds had embraced parenthood with their arrival of their son, Riaan Deshmukh. In 2016, Riaan was promoted to ‘big brother’ when Genelia and Riteish had welcomed their second bundle of joy, Rahyl Deshmukh. But unfortunately, Riaan and Rahyl didn’t get to meet their paternal grandfather, Vilasrao Deshmukh, as it was in 2012 when he had taken his last breath.
