In an interaction with Bollywood Bubble, when Genelia D’Souza was asked whether or not Riteish Deshmukh asked her to quit acting post-marriage, she said, “People say what they want to say but the truth of the matter is that I decided. To date like people say ‘Why don’t you do so much more work?’ I don’t feel I can do so much work but I feel I still enjoy that whole part of being with my kids. I want to do that, I want to do this, I’ll choose when I want to do what.”
