Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia join Fardeen Khan's birthday bash; groove to 'Kambakth Ishq'
Mumbai, March 9
If there's one celebrity couple that rarely fails to brighten social media timelines, it's Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh. Known for their fun videos and effortless chemistry, the two once again gave fans a reason to smile; this time while celebrating the birthday of their close friend, actor Fardeen Khan.
Fardeen turned 52 on Sunday, March 8, and the Deshmukhs marked the occasion with a fun post on Instagram. Sharing a collaborative video, the couple joined the birthday boy in an upbeat dance clip that caught fans' attention online in no time.
The video shows the trio dancing to the track "Kambakth Ishq" from the 2001 film 'Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya,' which featured Fardeen in a lead role. The short clip captures Riteish, Genelia and Fardeen laughing, grooving and clearly enjoying the moment as they recreate the energy of the hit single.
Take a look
Fans quickly chimed in in the comments section, praising the trio's chemistry.
Meanwhile, on the work front, both Riteish and Genelia are busy with their upcoming projects. Riteish will next be seen in the historical film 'Raja Shivaji.' The first-look poster for the film was unveiled last month. It showed the 'Housefull' actor dressed in royal attire, reflecting the strength and resolve of the Maratha warrior king. The film is being made in both Marathi and Hindi and is aimed at audiences across India.
Genelia Deshmukh, on the other hand, will next be seen in 'Gunmaaster G9,' which also stars Emraan Hashmi and Aparshakti Khurana. Directed by Aditya Datt (Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Table No. 21), the film also marks the return of Emraan Hashmi and Himesh Reshammiya's musical-action combination that once defined an era. The film is produced by Deepak Mukut, Hunar Mukut and Soham Rockstar Entertainment.

Love this! But honestly, more excited for Raja Shivaji. As a Maharashtrian, seeing Riteish play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a dream. Hope they do justice to the history and don't just make a masala film.
Kambakth Ishq! What a throwback track. Fardeen was such a style icon back then. Nice to see him smiling. The film industry needs more of these genuine friendships, less PR-driven events.
They seem like such a lovely couple. Their videos always make my day. Also, Gunmaaster G9 sounds interesting with that cast. Emraan and Himesh combo is nostalgia!
Respectfully, while the birthday video is cute, I wish news portals would focus more on the upcoming work—like the scale of Raja Shivaji or what Gunmaaster is about—rather than just party clips. Just my two cents.
Genelia is still so bubbly and fresh! And Fardeen Khan... brings back memories of Pyaar Tune Kya Kiya. Time flies yaar. Wishing him a very happy birthday. 🎂
