MUMBAI: As Genelia Deshmukh turned 38 on Tuesday, actor Riteish Deshmukh showcased his love for his actress-wife, whom he tagged as the "heart of their home."
Taking to Instagram, Riteish, who often shares sneak-peeks into his romantic life with Genelia, shared a gamut of photographs.
The pictures featured him and Genelia through the years along with throwbacks from their younger days, some recent loved-up pictures of the couple and a few with their sons Riaan and Rahyl.
For the caption, Riteish wrote: “Happy Birthday, My Baiko, My Love. Today isn’t just your birthday — it’s a reminder of how lucky I am to walk through life with you. You are so many things in one incredible woman: the one who makes me laugh when I least expect it, the best mother our children could ever ask for, a daughter who leads with love and respect, and a friend who shows up — always.”
The actor said that Genelia is the glue that holds the family together.
“You carry more than anyone realizes, and still somehow give so much of yourself to everyone around you. You’re the strength behind so many of our family’s happiest moments, even when you’re tired, even when no one sees it. You are the glue that holds us together, ” he wrote.
Teasing the actress, he wrote: “You never fail to embarrass me — with your teasing, your epic leg-pulling, or those stories you love to overshare with friends and your endless laughter— but I wouldn’t change a thing. Because through it all, you always have my back.”
“You’re my loudest cheerleader, my fiercest defender, and the one person I can always count on every single time. You are my anchor and my calm, my favorite teammate in all of life’s chaos. You are, without question the heart of our home — and the one our kids turn to first, every single time.”
