'Mi' Marathi, marriage Marathi, says Riteish Deshmukh

Actors Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’Souza are set to have a lavish February wedding and insiders insist that preparations are already on in full swing. Never mind that the actors themselves are busy finishing their film together, and Riteish has even started work on his next, the families of the two actors are ensuring that nothing be left for the last minute. According to sources, the wedding itself will be done in the traditional Maharashtrian way.

Genelia, incidentally, had always wanted her wedding to be a white gown affair in a church, reveal sources close to the star. She is however excited about being a Maharashtrian bride and draping the Navvari and sporting the traditional nath and the mundavlya, say sources.

“I think every girl dreams of having that white gown fairy tale kind of wedding,” Genelia had said earlier, but had then added, “At the end of the day however, what matters is who you marry and not how.” Sources close to the actor reveal that the actor is actually quite excited about dressing as a Maharashtrian bride. “She hasn’t finalised her bridal attire yet, but is keen to dress as a traditional bride,” the source adds. Interestingly, the actor had an onscreen wedding in last release, Force, with actor John Abraham, in which she was dressed as a Maharashtrian bride too.
