Walls Emanating the Warmth of Love
The house is not just a physical structure built by his late father, CM Vilasrao Deshmukh, but a reflection of their affection for each other and their family. Besides performing the roles of an actor and director, Riteish was an architect by profession. His philosophy of home design is minimal, with clean and straight lines. Designing their house reflected his sentiments towards his family – pure and virtuous.
Riteish’s idea of a perfect home is having abundant light emitting energy, reminiscent of their personalities; chirpy, full of joy, and positivity. Quite literally! Natural light brings energy, life, and radiance to a house– an underlying theme in the Deshmukh mansion.
The lavish bungalow at Worli with an 18th-century styled white door, the Deshmukhs prefer a rather simple yet contemporary home. By now, Riteish’s love for art is not a secret and that is reflected in his space. One of his favourite pieces is a sculpture from down South – a tall wooden man standing with folded arms against the wall. His style denotes a contemporary design with a pop of colour. Guess what? Genelia is not the only one gushing over his spontaneity towards interior decor!

The decor reflects the couple’s personalities– a lovely fusion of elegance and simplicity. The ambience fills one with positive energy and a sense of belonging. Their house breathes love into their lives, and Genelia is responsible for making this house a home.
The most heartwarming feature in the house, the talk among friends and family, is a wall dedicated to their memories. As a surprise for Genelia, Riteish had the wall filled with cherished moments that were captured throughout their time spent together; right from their dating days to marriage and now, as a family. It is a canvas painted with beautiful memories.
A Repository of Laughter and Memories
Riteish and Genelia’s journey from being co-stars to soulmates has been nothing short of magical. Their house stands testimony to the couple’s unwavering love and unbreakable bond. Every nook and corner of the house holds memories of their laughter, tears, and shared moments of joy. It is a space where they have grown together; nurtured their relationship, and supported each other through thick and thin.
Far from the paparazzi’s probing gaze and the constant demands of their profession, their house provides a retreat to recharge and rejuvenate; a place where they can be themselves without any pretence, cherishing the simple joys of life with their children. The couple are doting parents to their two sons and have been part of the stepping stones of their lives. Just like other parents, their lives revolve around their children and devote time to them from their busy schedules.
The couple’s 20-year plus relationship is resilient in this fast-paced world where relationships confront difficulties at each step and where commitments are tested periodically. They find comfort in each other and embrace the strength in the company of their loved ones within these four walls. How lucky is one to find love like that?
Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia D’souza have carefully crafted a home full of love, warmth and happiness; a safe space which reminds them of their dedication – as lovers and parents alike – to establishing a life, enduring challenges, celebrating victories, and creating lasting memories together as a family.
