Bollywood’s stunning couple Ritesh Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza recently shared a memorable story from their dating days before marriage.
In a recent interview, Genelia recounted a significant message that plunged her into depression. She recalled that it was during the early days of their relationship on April 1st—April Fool’s Day—when Ritesh sent her a message saying, “That’s it, let’s end this relationship,” and then went to sleep.
Genelia explained that while Ritesh usually stayed up late, she preferred to go to bed early. That night, he sent her the message around 1 AM and fell asleep. She read it at 2:30 AM and found herself spiraling into depression.
She spent hours wondering what went wrong or what mistake she had made, and the entire night was consumed by her anxiety. Meanwhile, Ritesh woke up the next morning at 9:30 AM, completely unaware of the message he had sent. When he called her, she told him, “I don’t think we should talk; I don’t want to speak with you.”
Upon hearing this, Ritesh asked, “What happened?” Genelia responded, “Why are you acting like nothing happened?” When reminded of the message, Ritesh clarified that it was just a prank and a joke.
Genelia expressed her anger towards Ritesh, questioning how anyone could joke like that.
Notably, Ritesh and Genelia tied the knot on February 3, 2012, and they have two sons together.
