As Ritesh Deshmukh turns a year older today on December 17, 2018, wife Genelia took a journey down the memory lane and shared the cute birthday wish on social media. The actress took to Instagram to express her love all this while to her ‘forever’. She wrote, “Dear Forever I still remember celebrating your birthday on Tujhe Meri Kasam sets.. 17years ago..

For those who don’t know, Genelia and Ritesh’s love story was a mixture of drama and lots of love. The actress thought being a chief minister’s son, Ritesh would be a spoil brat and full of tantrums. However, the actor wasn’t close to even what Genelia’s first impression was for him. He came out to be extremely polite and humble. And on the sets of Tujhe Meri Kasam, the two became friends and then inseparable best friends.
The fondness grew, but no formal proposals were made from any side. But both knew that they feel something beyond friendship for each other. Love wasn’t a sudden thing for them, it evolved slowly and gradually. And when love happened, they took their own sweet time to nurture it and after dating for 9 long years, they finally tied the knot on February 03, 2012.

This year (2018), when Tujhe Meri Kasam film turned 15, Ritesh took to Twitter to share how his life actually changed after the film’s release.
