Despite being in a relationship for a decade before tying the knot in 2012, the couple chose not to live together.Genelia explained that even when they traveled together for work or vacations, they maintained a specific boundary. She revealed that they always stayed in separate rooms during those ten years.”We were together for 10 years before we got married, and we never lived in together. We never even stayed in the same room when we traveled,” Genelia stated during the interaction.The Reason Behind the Choice The actress clarified that this was not due to external pressure or strict rules from their parents, but rather a personal choice. She noted that they wanted to experience the phase of “living together” only after they were officially married. Riteish echoed these sentiments, highlighting the mutual respect they had for their individual spaces and the traditional approach they decided to follow.He mentioned that by the time they did move in together after their wedding, the transition felt special because it was a completely new chapter in their decade-long journey.The couple, who first met on the sets of their debut film Tujhe Meri Kasam in 2003, have been married for over 14 years and are widely regarded as one of Bollywood’s most stable and admired pairs.
