There were limited choices when I started out: Riteish

Riteish Deshmukh's comedy-heavy resume is a proof that he is the go-to-man for the genre in Bollywood.

The actor says comedies happened to him because there were not many other options when he began his career though he now enjoys being a part of such projects.

Riteish has attempted all possible genres within the realm of light entertainers - be it adult comedies like the "Masti" and "Kya Kool Hai Hum" franchises, rural comedy with "Malamaal Weekly" and others including "Housefull" and "Dhamaal" series.

The actor says when he entered the film industry in 2003 with romantic drama "Tujhe Meri Kasam", he never anticipated that eventually he will have so many comedies to his credit.

"It is just the kinds of films that came my way. I didn't plan on doing so many comedies. Once a film became successful, more such roles were offered to me. Ten years ago or when I started out, there were limited choices as compared to today," Riteish told
