Riteish Deshmukh-Genelia D'Souza marriage to last a lifetime

Riteish Deshmukh, who will marry Genelia D'Souza in February 2012 thinks that marriage is forever.

Riteish, who has been dating Genelia for the past eight years is a believer in the institution of matrimony. Talking about marriage, Riteish said, “I think it's an institution for much long time...since ages, and there is a reason why marriage has survived. I feel slowly, we are probably running away from it."

As quoted by PTI, Riteish Deshmukh has further added, “I personally feel that once you find a person, with whom you truly think you can be with, then that commitment is for the lifetime."

The couple, who will marry on February 3, has refused to reveal how and where the wedding will take place. Their romance began on the sets of Tujhe Meri Kasam, a debut film of both. "I think when you are seeing each other for long...I don't think the question of freedom arises. You get used to each other so much. We both have been very private individuals. Today, that comfort level is going an extra step ahead with a commitment of lifetime," he said.

When asked what he thought about losing freedom of bachelorhood, Riteish Deshmukh said that he did not mind that. He further jokingly said, “I was a bird happy sitting on a tree...I did not jump around many trees...so I am fine."

Well, with a mature and defined way of thinking, it is most likely that Riteish-Genelia marriage will last a lifetime.
