Genelia
D'souza
and
Riteish
Deshmukh,
who
have
been
dating
each
other
for
the
over
seven
years
have
apparently
got
engaged
at
a
hush
hush
ceremony
at
the
house
of
Riteish
Deshmukh's
father,
Maharashtra
CM
Vilasrao
Deshmukh's
residence
a
fortnight
ago.
If
sources
are
to
be
believed,
the
family
of
the
couple
have
been
planning
to
get
them
married
for
some
time
now.
An
official
engagement
was
hence
the
most
appropriate
thing
to
do.
Genelia
and
Riteish
apparently
went
for
a
low
key
affair
and
did
not
invite
any
of
their
friends
in
Bollywood.
Only
a
few
family
members
and
very
close
friends
of
the
couple
were
present
at
the
engagement.
A
source
revealed
that
though
Genelia
and
Riteish
have
been
dating
each
other
for
over
seven
years,
they
avoided
talking
about
their
relationship
in
public.
However,
they
have
made
several
public
appearances
at
parties,
award
functions
and
on
red
carpets
apart
from
doing
several
films
together.
As
per
source,
Riteish
was
always
sure
that
he
wanted
to
marry
Genelia.
However,
it
took
him
a
while
to
convince
his
family
who
wanted
him
to
get
married
to
a
girl
from
their
community.
