Genelia Deshmukh reacts to viral clip with Riteish and Preity Zinta: “It’s just blown out of proportion”

Genelia Deshmukh reacts to the viral video that featured her husband Riteish Deshmukh and Preity Zinta chatting animatedly while she looked somewhat lost beside them. Social media had a field day with the clip, with some netizens reading too much into her expression, even joking that she looked jealous.

But Genelia has made it clear: there’s no drama.In a lighthearted chat with Instant Bollywood, the actress said, “Hats off to the cameraman who shot it — he did a great job. It’s a good laugh. I think it’s a great laugh.” She dismissed all the speculation, adding with a smile, “I’m very clear that I have to be Riteish’s number one. I don’t care about anything else.”‘Low on Social Battery, That’s All’ Genelia further explained that the moment captured in the clip was nothing but a regular instance of feeling drained during a social event.

“People keep trying to create things… I mean, the video with Preity Zinta was amazing, I think that cameraman did a great job. But there are many videos that have come out which are rubbish. I don’t care, it makes no sense. It’s just blown out of proportion. I was just low on social battery.

”Genelia and Riteish have been together for over two decades, and her response reflects the confidence that comes with that bond. “We’ve dated for 23 years now,” she added, brushing off the trolls.

A Special Year with ‘Sitaare Zameen Par’ and a Visit to Rashtrapati Bhavan Professionally, Genelia is riding high. She was recently seen in Aamir Khan’s emotional drama 'Sitaare Zameen Par', a project she called “deeply human and unlike anything I’ve done before.” She also had the honour of meeting President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan after the President viewed the film and praised the cast.In her own words, it’s a year of blessings — viral memes and all.
