Actress Genelia D’Souza honored the occasion of ‘Vat Purnima’ by recalling her husband, Riteish Deshmukh, as she immersed herself in the holy Ganga. Sharing a tranquil video on her social media, she expressed her thoughts while taking the sacred dip. The footage shows Genelia in the fast-flowing Ganga River, providing a glimpse of the holy river on Vat Purnima.
Genelia and Riteish, a beloved Bollywood couple, first met during the filming of ‘Tujhe Meri Kasam’ in the early 2000s. Their friendship evolved into love, leading to their marriage in 2012 after nearly a decade of dating. The couple shares their life moments on social media, showcasing their family life with sons Riaan and Rahyl, and their pet dog, Flash.
In their last on-screen appearance together, Riteish and Genelia starred in the Marathi hit ‘Raja Shivaji’. Vat Purnima is a significant Hindu festival observed by married women, especially in regions like Maharashtra and Gujarat. On this day, married women pray for their husbands’ well-being, drawing inspiration from the story of Savitri and Satyavan. Women often fast, worship the banyan tree, and perform rituals for their spouse’s prosperity.
