Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D'Souza have been long celebrated as Bollywood's most-loved couple, praising their sweet love story, funny couple videos and humble, demeanour attitude. However, at the recent premiere of the Sitaare Zameen Par movie, starring Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh, a video of Housefull 5 actor Riteish Deshmukh has taken fans by surprise and not in a pleasant way, leaving many quite shocked.

During the premiere of Genelia's Sitaare Zameen Par, Riteish Deshmukh was filmed escorting his wife by the hand through a crowd of fans into the screening hall. Amidst this, a young boy approached the couple to take a selfie with them, but Riteish promptly pushed the boy's hand down, denying the picture. The actors walked away, leaving the boy visibly saddened by the interaction.

Fans Reaction On The Viral Video:

As the video made its way to social media, fans left thousands of comments, expressing disappointment at Riteish's rude attitude. “First time mujhe Ritesh ka attitude pasand nhi aaya,” a user commented. “Not expected from Ritesh – very wrong attitude sorry unfollow you now,” another said. A third person even tagged Riteish in the comment and wrote, “Imagine his parents would have sent him to you for a pic and politely he came and tried to take a selfie, wat was wrong in that? Stay humble bhai and you will lose nothing out of it.” 

“That was incredibly rude. Are these your true colours? Your facial expressions and attitude say a lot—and not in a good way. I expected a grown man to show more self-control and maturity. It wouldn't hurt to stay grounded and respectful,” another comment read. Another user expressing his concern for the boy wrote, wrote,“His face looks like he is crying on the spot.” Riteish's recent film, Housefull 5, was even brought up by some, who felt he shouldn't be acting so conceited after its performance. “Proud moment after the success of Masterpiece - HOUSEFULL 5,” wrote one. “Housefull jaise movie banake aisa attitude hai bhai,” wrote another.
