Mumbai, June 29
Actress Genelia Deshmukh took a trip down memory lane as she reflected on the joy of signing autographs.
The actress, calling it a moment filled with gratitude and a reminder of how far she has come in her journey, expressed her emotions on the same in a post.
Taking to her social media stories, the actress shared a monochrome picture of herself sitting inside a car as she signed autographs for fans waiting outside.
Sharing the picture, she wrote, "there's something about signing autographs.. not just an ink on a paper but lots of gratitude and a full circle."
Talking about the actress, on the work front, Genelia began her acting career with the 2003 Telugu film 'Satyam'. The same year, she made her Hindi film debut in the 2003 released movie 'Tujhe Meri Kasam', which also marked her husband and actor Riteish Deshmukh's acting debut.

I remember waiting for autographs outside theatres as a kid. Genelia was such a fresh face in Bollywood with Tujhe Meri Kasam. Her journey from Mumbai girl to pan-India star is truly inspiring. But I feel sometimes our film industry overhypes nostalgia - we need more substance in today's films too.
Cool to see her reflect on the journey! Autographs really do mean a lot to fans. As someone from the US who follows Indian cinema, I find her cross-industry success fascinating. The full circle sentiment is something all artists can relate to.
Bahut achha feel hota hai when stars stay grounded despite all the success. Genelia and Riteish are one of the most genuine couples in Bollywood. Her movies like Ready and Force were my childhood favorites! But honestly, I wish she'd do more films now - we need her energy back on screen! 🔥
That black-and-white photo really adds to the nostalgic vibe. She's been part of so many memorable films across languages. Autograph signing must be surreal when you think about the millions of fans who've connected with your work. Classy post! ✨
Genelia is one of those rare stars who maintained her simplicity even after acting with big names. Her love story with Riteish is like a Bollywood movie itself! The 'full circle' feeling is real - from a debutante to a star signing autographs for next generation fans. Respect. 🙏
