They had been dating each other for ages and then finally got married – but one thing that never changed was their romance. Riteish Deshmukh and Genelia Deshmukh are Bollywood’s cutest couple. Their love has only become stronger with each passing day.

This Valentine’s Day, they gave the most romantic interview and it was just so sweet!

Here are 5 things they said:

1) “Pyar dosti hai”

Riteish:

I am glad that with Genelia, we met, became friends and then that friendship grew into conversations that went on for a very long time. The beauty of it was we didn’t even know when we fell in love.

Genelia:

I am glad that we went through all these phases because life is all about evolving and when you get married, there is a comfort level that I had with Riteish right from day one. The first three days, however, we didn’t talk to each other.

2) “Holding hands is my favourite form of romance”

Genelia:

Holding hands is my favourite form of romance. I love holding Riteish’s hands wherever we go.

Riteish:

It’s like if I step out, I will look for her hand. It’s a rarity that I will be walking with her without holding her hand.

3) “We have our disagreements”

Genelia:

We don’t fight. We have our arguments and discussions. I have learned that from Riteish; never to sleep on a fight.

Riteish:

More than arguments, we have our disagreements. We discuss it out. We don’t argue over what movies or TV channels to watch, or food.

4) “Happy wife, happy life”

Genelia:

He will ask me if I am upset, I will say no and he says okay.

Riteish:

If a boy is upset, he will say it. When a girl says no, it means yes. I can never understand the workings of a female mind. So if she says she’s not upset, I take it at face value. I will ask her if she is, she says, ‘No, I am fine.’ So I am like, ‘Okay let’s go and watch a movie. That’s the way it gets sorted.

5) “We still write letters to each other”

Riteish:

We still write letters to each other and proper, handwritten ones, not SMSes or emails. When I was dating her, I used to write one every day.

Genelia:

But I could not keep his letters at home for fear of getting caught, so I gave them to him for safe-keeping. We both have all the letters. After I got married, I took back his letters and now have them with me.
