Riteish-Genelia tied Knot, as film and politics mingle


Bollywood couple Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza tied the knot on Friday according to Marathi traditions in the presence of Bollywood and political biggies.
The marriage came at the end of an eight-year-long courtship with Riteish (32) and Genelia (24) taking their vows around a sacred fire at the suburban Grand Hyatt hotel.
The groom, wearing a white sherwani and red feta (turban), entered the hotel riding a white ghodi Genelia wore a red and gold lehenga designed by Ritu Kumar.
The baaraat started from the grounds near Grand Hyatt.
