Riteish Deshmukh says wife Genelia 'seem completely frozen in time' as she turns a year older
Mumbai, Aug 5
Actor Riteish Deshmukh used social media to share a heartfelt note for his Baiko Genelia Deshmukh, who turned a year older on Wednesday.
He took to his official Instagram handle and uploaded a couple of unseen pictures of the birthday girl with her loved ones.
Riteish pointed out that Genelia seems to have stopped aging, as if she is frozen in time. However, he joked that her youthful looks might be credited to him.
The 'Raid 2' actor wrote on the photo-sharing app, "My dearest Baiko, I was going through all the memories we have shared, curated, and created, and I realised that I am the only one ageing - you seem completely frozen in time. But then again, I guess you are truly blessed with a good husband (sic)."
"Happy Birthday to the person who holds our family together - a super mom, a fabulous daughter, a doting sister, and my Baiko!!! I love you @geneliad #happybirthdaygenelia," he wished his better half.
Reacting to this, Genalia commented, "I have the best husband in the world - Ask anyone...Thank you Navra for being mine."
Talking about Riteish and Genelia's love saga, these two met on the sets of their debut movie, 'Tujhe Meri Kasam', back in 2003.
What started as a professional association soon transformed into a relationship, which went on for 9 long years and finally resulted in marriage in 2012.
Riteish and Genelia tied the knot on February 3, 2012. These two got married as per two ceremonies- Maharashtrian and Christian - honoring the cultural sentiments of both sides. The couple has been blessed with two sons-Riaan, born in 2014, and Rahyl, whom they welcomed in 2016.
Riteish and Genelia have shared screen space in multiple projects, such as 'Tujhe Meri Kasam (2003)', 'Masti (2004)', 'Tere Naal Love Ho Gaya (2012)', 'Ved (2022)', and, most recently, the lovebirds were seen together in 'Raja Shivaji (2026)'.

His joke about her good husband keeping her young is classic Riteish humor. They've been through a lot together from their debut to now, still going strong. Also, nice to see how they respected both Maharashtrian and Christian traditions in their wedding. A proper multicultural Indian family... this is what makes them relatable.
Genelia's reply is even cuter! "Ask anyone" - that's how confident she is in their relationship. It's rare to see such wholesome celebrity couples in the industry. May their love keep growing! Also, nice to see them both being actively involved in their kids' lives.
Sweet message, but I have to say... I'm a bit tired of seeing the same celebrity couple posts every year. I wish media focused more on their actual work projects instead. 'Raja Shivaji' is coming and I hope it's good, but these birthday posts feel a bit too curated and predictable. Just my honest opinion.
"Baiko" - так sweet to see him use a Marathi term of endearment! As a Maharashtrian myself, it makes me proud how they balance both their roots beautifully. Their love story is a reminder that the 9 years of waiting was worth it. Happy birthday, Genelia! 🎂
It's always refreshing to see a Bollywood couple who actually seem to genuinely like each other. I've followed both of them since their debuts, and they've grown so much gracefully. The way he takes credit for her youthful looks is a perfect mix of humor and
