Happy Birthday Riteish Deshmukh: When Shah Rukh Khan told this talented actor, “I am ready to MARRY you”
Riteish Deshmukh celebrates his 43rd birthday today. The actor is known for his comic roles and his performances in films like Masti (2004), Kyaa Kool Hai Hum (2005), Bluffmaster (2005), Apna Sapna Money Money (2006), Heyy Babyy (2007), and in Dhamaal and Housefull series have been much appreciated. In recent times, he also surprised viewers with his villainous performances in Ek Villain (2014) and Marjaavaan (2019), and with his action-packed avatar in the Marathi super-hit, Lai Bhaari (2014). His chemistry with superstar Akshay Kumar is well known and both have acted in several films together. However, his bond with Shah Rukh is something that is not in public knowledge. A few months back, however, Riteish opened up about an interesting anecdote revolving around SRK for the first time.
2 months ago, while talking to a digital page, Riteish, for the first time, shared about the time when the iPhone’s first-generation phone was just launched, in 2007. Riteish Deshmukh revealed, "I had got 2 iPhone pieces with me; I must be one of the first people in Mumbai to have the smartphone. Someone was coming from America. He got it the day that it was launched and gave it to me the next day.”
Riteish continued, “I was aware that Shah Rukh is a huge technology fan. So as soon as I got the iPhones, I sent one device to him.”
The superstar was floored by the specs of this first-ever smartphone. Riteish then revealed, “At 11 pm that night, I got a call from him. He told me, 'Riteish, yaar yeh toh mindblowing cheez hai.' I told him that it is a gift from me to him. Then he said, 'I just want to tell you one thing. I am ready to marry you'.” Riteish burst out laughing as he narrated this particular part of the episode.
Riteish Deshmukh is also an architect by degree and has done the office of Karan Johar's Dharma Productions and that of Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Productions. While speaking about this aspect, Riteish narrated how Shah Rukh got him on board, "It was just random. One day, Shah Rukh just called me and asked me, 'Mera office (design) karega tu?' Now I am a huge Shah Rukh Khan fan. Sharing screen space with him (in Heyy Babyy; 2007) was big enough. But to do something for him (would have meant a lot). I told him that I'll get better architects and work with them. He said, 'Better architects to main bhi leke aa sakta hoon. Main chahta hoon ki mera office tu design karein. I like you'."
Meanwhile, 2022 is going to be an eventful year for Riteish Deshmukh. His first directorial venture, the Marathi film Ved, will be released in cinemas, on August 12, 2022. He’ll feature in the film as an actor, along with his wife Genelia Deshmukh. He’ll also be seen acting in Fardeen Khan-starrer Visfot, and opposite Tamannaah Bhatia in the Netflix film, Plan A Plan B. Talking about his personal life, his marriage with Genelia will complete 10 years in February 2022.
