Genelia D'Souza, who is currently basking in the success of Sitaare Zameen Par, has finally broken her silence on the viral video featuring her, Riteish Deshmukh and Preity Zinta. A viral video featuring Genelia and Preity sparked widespread attention and meme culture, with some interpreting Genelia's expressions as jealousy towards Preity.

In a conversation with paparazzi account Instant Bollywood, Genelia 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. I’m very clear that I have to be Riteish’s number one. I don’t care about anything else; these things are too frivolous for us. We’ve dated for 23 years now."

The actress further added, "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."

Sitaare Zameen Par, a spiritual sequel to the 2007 superhit Taare Zameen Par, is indeed ruling the hearts of the audience. Made under the banner of Aamir Khan Productions, Sitaare Zameen Par stars Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh in lead roles along with the 10 rising stars. The lyrics are penned by Amitabh Bhattacharya and music is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy. The screenplay is written By Divy Nidhi Sharma.
